Public Health Concern
Trust - Introduction
The Premises
Despite all efforts in development made
in Nepal over the last several decades, for the majority
of the Nepalese life still remains well below a
satisfactory level. Irrational distribution of resources
and their mismanagement grossly marginalized most of the
population, making people unable to meet their basic
needs. With the advent of democracy in 1990, naturally,
there were rising expectations of qualitative changes in
life including health. A clear vision of development had
become a prerequisite to initiate planning and action to
move in this direction. Visibly, the government was not
adequately prepared for this. There was a need for NGOs
to step in to act as partner of national development. In
this background, phect-NEPAL came into existence in 1991
along with many other NGOs.
Status phect
- NEPAL is a secular, non-political, not for making
profit, national level non-governmental organization
committed in health development. It was founded in 1991
and is governed by an independent Executive Board. In
addition, an advisory team comprising experts of
different fields supports it. phect-NEPAL is registered
with the Social Welfare Council and District
Administration Office, Katmandu. The phect-NEPAL
Constitution is the principal guiding document of the
organization.
Visiion / Mission /
Goal
Recognizing that HEALTH
is the individual’s ability to achieve, enjoy and
maintain a harmonic relationship with his / her being
and nature at large, phect-NEPAL has declared its
MISSION to work for a society with healthy
people.
The direction of phect-NEPAL is
guided by the
VISION"Empowerment
of people through health
action".
phect-NEPAL aims to create
a model of sustainable health care system based on
principles of equity, social justice, people’s
participation and self reliance
Thus, having been
evolved through more than a decade of existence,
phect-NEPAL is taking the shape of a movement rather
than a mere organization.
