Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) has recently announced two new generals in this war against COVID-19. With clear intention of informing the people about the current situation of COVID-19 outbreak in Nepal, a web portal and an app by the name “Hamro Swasthya” has been launched.
A few days ago, the Ministry announced a viber community to disseminate information about COVID-19. The web portal and app are a slightly larger implementation of government’s gestures to inform the public about the ongoing pandemic.
The web portal is addressed under the name: covid19.mohp.gov.np by the government and is made in collaboration with the company named NAXA. Basically, the portal engulfs all common aspects about the ongoing pandemic. In particular, it’s centered around the underlying conditions of the virus in Nepal. The portal also contains the official numbers related to the status of COVID-19 infected in the country, under observation and suspected cases, number of tests done, and death cases.
There are hotline numbers, a link redirecting to the viber community and a Play Store tunnel to the app. Aside from that, there’s a section that plainly describes what the Covid-19 is all about and how it came into being. Besides that, you have a list of available hospitals and labs that are currently treating and testing patients all around Nepal.
Additionally, there is a separate section directing to a E-Portal and FAQ page which I’ll leave for you to try out. The E-Portal is the Danphe Learning Platform; which has access to all the details and information in the form of documents, videos, and infographics about COVID-19 from WHO and MoHP.
Currently, you can only access the app only through the web portal. As per the developers, the app should be up in Google Play Store in a couple of days. Follow the link listed in the portal and the app should be downloaded automatically.
The app borrows most of the attributes from the web portal. A pretty interesting addition, is the section where you can take self-assessment if you think you have coronavirus (COVID-19) or have been in close contact with someone who has it. All you have to do is fill out a form asks basic symptoms related questions. Aside from that, there’s information regarding the virus; which you can check through the app as well.
