Aid Distribution in Nepal
|
|
In November 2016, a team of FIRE volunteers distributed much-needed food and supplies to the elderly in the Langtang Valley. It was the first relief effort in the village of Wangal since the earthquake in April 2015.
In December, FIRE was also able to move eight of the most vulnerable elders from Langtang into an empty guest house for the winter. They were warm, fed, cared for, and safe. We also went back to Wangal to distribute coats for the winter.

Hepatitis Research Project

We are excited to present the abstract summarizing our research project with the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In 2009, one of FIRE's first hepatitis programs was a collaborative research project with NIH to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis B and C among health care workers in correlation in various risk factors.
FIRE's Program Director, Dr. Munkhnasan presented the results of the study at the World Health Organization conference, "Tackling Infectious Disease - Information for Action," in October 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
You can view the abstract summary of the project
