School health and nutrition services are services provided through the school system to improve the health and well-being of children and in some cases whole families and the broader community.
The 2016 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey collected data on key health and demographic indicators in Nepal. Some key findings include:
- 56% of children under 5 have their births registered.
- Nearly half of households have access to improved sanitation and drinking water sources. However, 66% rely on solid fuels for cooking.
- Educational attainment is low, with two in five women and one in five men having no education. Net school attendance is 80% for primary but only 67% for secondary school.
- Regarding employment, 57% of women and 78% of men reported current employment. Most women work in agriculture compared to most men working outside of agriculture.

The Chronic Care Model provides a framework to improve care for patients with chronic illnesses. It emphasizes productive interactions between informed, activated patients and prepared practice teams. The model includes six core elements: community resources, self-management support, delivery system design, decision support, clinical information systems, and organized healthcare systems. Studies show practices that more fully implement the model through interventions experience improved quality of care and patient outcomes. Randomized controlled trials demonstrate the Chronic Care Model is effective across different chronic conditions. While implementation presents challenges, the evidence indicates the Chronic Care Model can successfully redesign care for chronic illness.
