Essential newborn care practices in health facilities of Nepal
Availability of newborn care practices in health facilities (HFs) plays an important role in improving the survival and well-being of newborns. In this paper, we aimed to assess practice of carrying out different newborn care practices among HFs between 2015 and 2021, and associated factors in Nepal. We analyzed data of 621 and 786 HFs offering delivery and newborn care services from Nepal Health Facility Surveys 2015 and 2021, respectively. We s…
Factors associated with uptake of breast and cervical cancer screening among Nepalese women
Breast cancer screening (BCS) and cervical cancer screening (CCS) are integral parts of initiatives to reduce the burden associated with these diseases. In this context, we aimed to determine factors associated with BCS and CCS uptake among Nepalese women aged 30 to 49 years using data from the Nepal Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) 2022. We performed a weighted analysis to account complex survey design of the NDHS 2022. We employed univariable a…
Burden of chronic kidney disease in Nepal
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as one of the major public health concerns. The increasing prevalence of its correlates such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension has been, due in part responsible for the increased burden. However, very few studies have presented the comprehensive data on burden of disease particularly in developing countries like Nepal. In this study, we have performed an analysis on prevalence, mortality, years lived …
Health financing reforms in the quest for universal health coverage
Universal health coverage (UHC) has been a key topic for the global agenda for some time now, postulating that everyone should have access to essential medical care, regardless of their socioeconomic situation and without being exposed to extreme health expenditures [1]. UHC encompasses three dimensions – population coverage, service coverage, and cost coverage. Nepal has [...]
The burden of mental disorders in Nepal between 1990 and 2019
Mental disorders are the leading cause of disease burden, affecting 13% of all people globally in 2019. However, there is scarce evidence on the burden of mental disorders in Nepal. This study used the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 data to assess the prevalence and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) of mental disorders in Nepal between 1990 and 2019. In 2019, there were 3.9 million (95% UI: 3.6-4.3) people with mental disorders in Nepal…

Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific mortality and life expectancy, 1950–2017
BACKGROUND: Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of previous iterations of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD). Previous iterations of the GBD used population estimates from UNPOP, which were not derived in a way that was internally consistent wit…
