From young minds to older generations, OUCRU Nepal's community engagement in Kathmandu Wards 12 and 14 brought people together to learn about Influenza and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), a meaningful step toward building informed and healthier communities.

The sessions were conducted with women’s groups and sahakari groups (cooperative groups), using an interactive and participatory approach. Each session included pre- and post-test assessments to measure knowledge gained and reinforce learning.

Medical doctors from OUCRU Nepal facilitated the sessions, leading discussions on Influenza and AMR through engaging methods such as Q&A, group discussions, and interactive activities, ensuring active participation across different age groups.

Study Close-Out Meeting Successfully Conducted!

OUCRU Nepal successfully organized the Study Close-Out Meeting for the project on “Feasibility of Using Real-Time AI Monitoring in Hospitalized Patients with Community-Acquired Pneumonia and Suspected Sepsis”
Conducted at Institute of Medicine, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, this study explored the use of low-cost, non-invasive wearable devices for continuous patient monitoring. The preliminary findings highlight the potential of using wearable devices to remotely monitor critically ill patients, to ease the burden on healthcare systems, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Nepal.
🙏 We extend our sincere gratitude to all collaborators, healthcare professionals, and participants who made this project possible.
