Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN)

08/10/2026

With support from German Doctors , Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN) handed over essential medicines, medical supplies and equipment worth over NPR 400,000 to Gatlang Health Post in Amachhodingmo Rural Municipality Ward 3, Rasuwa, on 7 October 2026 (21 Asoj 2083).

Gatlang lies in north-western Rasuwa and is one of the most isolated communities in the district. Reaching it meant crossing the Bhotekoshi River on a tuin, a manual rope crossing, and then carrying the supplies the rest of the way over difficult terrain. Because of its distance and poor access, Gatlang has received only nominal relief since the flood. This is the first direct medical aid to reach the community.

Health post staff received the supplies in the presence of Aamachhodingmo Rural Municipality Vice Chair Chandika Tamang, Ward Chair and Chair of the Health Facility Operation and Management Committee (HFMOC), Surendra Tamang, Health Post In-Charge Silash Batha Magar, and community members.The medicines and equipment will help the health post keep treating patients in the village, as getting to a hospital is especially difficult and dangerous right now. The Gatlang Health Post team thanked German Doctors e.V. and RRN for making the journey and expressed hope that the support will continue.

This is part of the Bhotekoshi Flood Relief Package funded by German Doctors e.V. The package has also supported Rasuwa Hospital and Thulo Syabru Health Post, along with flood-affected households in Gosaikunda and Amachhodingmo.

Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN) distributed nutrition packets to 175 flood-affected households in Gosaikunda Rural Municipality Ward 5, Rasuwa, on 6 October 2026 (20 Asoj 2083). The support comes from German Doctors

In Thulo Syabru 147 households received a packet, and in Brabal 28. Each packet contained super flour (lito), corn flakes, 2 kg of salt, 2 kg of beaten rice and 3 litres of cooking oil. The packets will help families meet their basic food needs while they recover from the flood. The lito also gives them a nutritious porridge for infants.

Under the same project, RRN handed over essential medicines, basic equipment and supplies to the Thulo Syabru Health Post. They were received by Health Post In-charge Rajendra Aryal and Community Medical Assistant (CMA) Bhim Tamang. The supplies will let the health post treat more patients in the village, so fewer people have to travel to Dhunche for basic care.

This is part of the Bhotekoshi Flood Relief Package funded by German Doctors e.V., which also supports Rasuwa Hospital in Dhunche and flood-affected households in Amachhodingmo Rural Municipality. Distributions will continue in the coming days.

Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN) handed over essential medical equipment and medicines to Rasuwa Hospital, Dhunche, on 3 October 2026 (17 Asoj 2083). The support comes from German Doctors as part of the Bhotekoshi Flood Relief Package.

Medical Superintendent Dr. Amit Prajapati and hospital staff received the supplies from Dr. Suresh Tamang, RRN Director of Research and Strategic Partnerships. RRN Board Member Gauri Thakuri and RRN staff were also present.

The equipment includes a dual phototherapy unit, a skin surgical stapler, electric room heaters, water boilers, sterilisers and power banks. It comes with lifesaving and essential medicines to strengthen the hospital's capacity to provide care. RRN's first field mission in September found the hospital handling the district's trauma care and surgery with very limited staff, equipment and medicine.

The handover is part of a wider relief package worth over EUR 15,000, funded by German Doctors e.V. The package also delivers essential medicines and equipment to two health posts. Nutrition and dignity packets are going to 350 flood-affected households in Gosaikunda and Amachhodingmo rural municipalities, and distributions will continue in the coming days.

RRN and WHH Distribute Shelter and Hygiene Kits to Flood-Affected Households in Rasuwa.

Rasuwa | 30 September–1 October 2026 (Asoj 14–15, 2083): Over the past two days, Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN), with support from Welthungerhilfe (WHH), distributed shelter and hygiene kits to a total of 360 flood-affected households in Danda Gaun, Uttargaya Rural Municipality-2. The ward secretary and ward office staff were present alongside WHH representatives at the distributions.
Concurrently today, RRN distributed shelter kits to 166 flood-affected households in Ramche, Kalika Rural Municipality-1.

Each shelter kit includes two tarpaulins (15 x 18 ft) and 30 metres of nylon rope, helping families put up or strengthen temporary shelter ahead of the colder months. Each hygiene kit contains a cotton towel, bathing and washing soap, toothpaste and a toothbrush, sanitary pads, a nail cutter, a comb, water treatment liquid, nylon rope, a bucket and a mug. With many families still living in temporary shelters and relying on water sources that may have been contaminated by the flood, the kits will help reduce the risk of waterborne and skin diseases.
