Palpa, Lumbini Province - WHO Nepal trained 33 participants, including local-level CICT (Case Investigation and Contact Tracing) team members, health coordinators, and representatives from various development partners on the app - IMU (Information Management Unit) Nepal. On the app, participants will now be able to directly enter details on case registration and sample collection; laboratories will receive the samples via a unique code and dispatch the report; and health coordinators and other members of respective local levels can see the status of COVID-19 cases and initiate case investigation and contact tracing appropriately. The training was organized by Health Office, Palpa; and supported by Suaahara (a program funded by USAID and managed by Hellen Keller International) and BES (Backwardness Eradication Society) Nepal.
