Following weeks of first emergency operations in Nepal, TSF has now phased its actions into the post-emergency chapter of its operations.
The first emergency phase saw over 7000 family members reunited through almost 3000 minutes offered in the remote areas most affected by the 7.9 magnitude earthquake. Given the complex geographic make-up of Nepal, satellite communications means were provided to NGOs and United Nations agencies operating in the area, enhancing capacities in food and shelter distribution, search and rescue and medical aid.
Throughout the duration of its movements, our teams have been collecting information from the field on the more long-term needs left in the aftermath of the earthquake. This information has been compiled and has highlighted the need for technological support in the district of Sinhupalchowk in order to enhance the recovery phase into rebuilding, notably in medical sector.
Taking into account the remaining number of people injured, TSF is in collaboration with iNGO Médecins du Monde - MdM (Doctors of the World) to develop a mobile information system for mobile medics to streamline field-level data collection. With monsoon season fast approaching, it is essential for MdM doctors to have an efficient system allowing them to collect and process medical data. Trained by TSF in the use of the tool, the medical professionals will thus have a system that will accelerate the detection of diseases provoked by arising phenomena following the earthquake.
Our teams remain on the ground to implement post-emergency operations and we will ensure that you are informed of the evolution of these projects in the coming weeks. In the meantime please do not hesitate to get in touch for any further information.
