In rural areas of Nepal, access to specialized care remains limited, which often delays the diagnosis of heart disease in children. In partnership with Save the Heart Nepal and Mission Bambini, MAP supported the first pediatric cardiac screening camp in Nuwakot District. This initiative not only provides free screenings for children but also raises awareness among families and strengthens the skills of local healthcare workers to improve the long-term care of young patients.
