Improving Healthcare System in Nepal
At Intercell sustainability and corporate social responsibility are anchored at the Management Board level. By developing innovative vaccines, Intercell makes an active contribution to people’s health.
In 2009, Intercell initiated the plan to support one three-year project of social sponsorship.
As a global corporation, Intercell has the opportunity and responsibility to look beyond the daily business activities and consider how our capabilities and resources can contribute to support significant and lasting change. Intercell supports the non-profit organization EcoHimal in its efforts to establish a healthcare system in Nepal. Nepal faces major healthcare problems especially in rural areas, where diarrheal diseases, HIV/Aids, Pneumonia and Japanese Encephalitis are among the major causes of illness and death. Furthermore, the program aims to raise awareness for healthcare among the people of Nepal in order to positively influence their health-seeking behavior.
The project is organized by EcoHimal and supported by the Austrian government.
