Nepal Health Facility Survey 2015

The 2015 Nepal Health Facility Survey (NHFS) is an assessment of health care facilities in the formal sector of Nepal. It was designed to provide information on the availability of basic and essential health care services and the readiness of health facilities to provide quality services to clients. To provide a comprehensive picture of the strengths and weaknesses of the service delivery environment for each assessed service, the 2015 NHFS collected information from all facilities managed by the government and by private not-for-profit nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), private for-profit organizations, and mission/faith organizations in all 75 districts of the country.

The 2015 NHFS provides representative results for Nepal, for different facility types (public hospitals, primary health care centers [PHCCs], health posts [HPs], urban health centers [UHCs], standalone HIV testing and counseling sites [HTCs], and private hospitals), for different managing authorities (government and private), for each of the three geo-ecological regions in the country, and for the area affected by the 2015 earthquake (14 districts).
