Epidemiological Study of COPD Rationale • COPD is the major public health problem in Nepal and one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the world (third leading cause of death worldwide). (Source: WHO) • COPD was one of the leading causes for morbidity and mortality in United Mission Hospital. (2nd highest IPD diagnosis and 2nd leading cause of IPD Mortality in FY 079/ 080) (Source: Annual Report, United Mission Hospital, 079/080) • Mortality and morbidity due to COPD can largely be prevented and treated if managed promptly and adequately. Example: by behavioural modification like smoking cessation, decreasing exposure to household smoke.

Learning Reflections: • We learned about the basic political structure and function of health service in local, provincial and national level • We got exposed to various constraints faced within the current healthcare system of Nepal to deliver services of optimum quality. • We understood how private, governmental and non-governmental health institutions play a coordinated role in providing health services to the general public • We understood detailed structure and function of community, district and provincial hospitals in Nepal. Learning Reflections (continued): • We learned how a particular aspect of the health service system can be critically analyzed, and how potential solutions can be reached • We learned how to extract, analyze and report epidemiological data • We learned to identify, prioritize and analyze health issues in a municipality and create a plausible plan to mitigate the issue with available resources • We understood various opportunities as well as constraints occurring as a result of transition to federal system. • Personal Lessons: Time management, Teamwork, Communication Appreciation Letters: Photos: Thank you!!
