POSSIBLE
Since 2008, Possible has been working in some of the poorest and most remote communities in Nepal. What started as a single humble clinic in a region of 250,000 people without a single clinician has since grown into a healthcare system with two regional hospital hubs and a network of community health workers that has delivered care to over 380,000 patients while demonstrating year-over-year resource growth from the Nepali government. www.possiblehealth.org
