Due to lack of sanitation, safe drinking water, healthy and nutritious food, Nepal is facing a problem of communicable and infectious diseases like diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, typhoid etc. About 45,000 children are dying per year due to diarrhea in Nepal.
Few decades ago, more deaths used to occur due to the famines, smallpox and malaria. Nowadays, these diseases have been eradicated. But the diseases like hepatitis 'B', HIV/ AIDS have appeared now as great problems.
The diseases like leprosy, tuberculosis may be cured easily, but people do not show such diseases even they are infected assuming that they would be hated by the society.
Thus, Nepal has been facing many great health problems of infectious diseases due to ignorance, poor sanitation, illiteracy and social customs.
