Nepal Health Corps - Gandaki Medical College
(NHC-GMC), in proud partnership with SOCHAl, is bringing a special health initiative to Pokhara Ward No. 17! ✨
We are thrilled to announce our upcoming community nutrition and maternal child health program; “सुनौलो जग: पोषणको पहिलो पाइला” (Golden Foundation: The First Step of Nutrition).
This program is entirely dedicated to the 'Golden 1000 Days, that incredibly crucial period from pregnancy up to a child's second birthday. We want to work hand-in-hand with our community to improve the nutritional status of both mothers and their little ones.
We're keeping things practical, visual, and engaging. Here's a sneak peek at what we'll be doing:
✨ Interactive sessions on "Harek bar, khana char" (eating from four food groups every meal) and proper breastfeeding practices.
✨Raising awareness on the importance of ANC, PNC, and safe institutional deliveries.
✨Fun, hands-on demonstrations using NutriBeads and learning how to prepare highly nutritious 'Sarbottam Pitho' at home.
✨ Showcasing healthy, locally available diets on a traditional ‘Poshan Nanglo'.
A healthy community starts at home, and we are calling all pregnant women, breastfeeding moms, mothers of children under two, and the wise senior women of families to join us!
Together with our amazing Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs), let's take a strong step toward reducing maternal and infant mortality and building a healthier future for our ward.
