Hello,

I am a law student from Washington University in the United States. I am working on advocacy in Nepal for the summer. My main project is regarding violations of Nepal’s constitutionally guaranteed right to health care free of cost from the State. I am seeking input from various walks of life regarding this topic. If anyone has information or answers for the following questionnaire, please submit it to s.wiese@propublic.org Please include your name if possible, a bit about your background, and why this subject interests you.

Thanks,
Stephen J Wiese

Health Care Questionnaire

What are the most important aspects of basic health care?

Why do you think that the right to basic health care is included in Nepal’s interim constitution?
a
And in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

4
What is your plan for improving health care and access to health care for the average Nepali?
5
How can Nepal improve maternal and child health care?
6
What could be done in an ideal situation beyond the plan in order to meet the Nepali people’s guaranteed right?
7
Why is there a disparity between the current state of health care and the necessary level?

Do you think this is ethical to charge a fee on a citizen who goes for his health check up? If yes please give your reasoning?
10
Is it moral/ethical to enrich the government coffers at the expense of a sick person?
11
Do you think a tax on health care services provided at a private clinic is constitutional?
a
Even if the services were unavailable at a public health facility?
b
And despite the plain language of the constitution?
12 Do you think Nepal should avoid/continue taxing such services?
13 Why would people fight against a tax on services provided by a restaurant/hotel but not a tax on services provided by a private health facility?
14 How much would a peaceful, stable democracy allow for the improvement of the health of the Nepali citizens (insomuch as the stability would allow for appropriate reform/measures to be taken)?

 

 a If democracy is a panacea, why is it in such a poor state in the US?
