Health Seeking Behavior of Rajbanshi by Nawa Raj Subba

Research Topic: Health Seeking Behaviour of Rajbanshi community in Baijanathpur and Katahari of Morang Nepal
Researcher: Nawa Raj Subba
Year: 2001

Nepal is a country of multicultural, multi-religious, multi-lingual, pluralistic and mosaic society. Ethnic communities have their own distinct healing practices. It has been widely felt that access to modern medication in the rural as well as in urban community is very low; despite the service, outlets have been made available even at periphery level by the government. Health Care practices – Modern, Traditional, Self-medication, Alternative exist in almost each and every community, are the indispensable part of our health system. Merely establishment of Sub-Health Post, training for Health Workers cannot ensure the access to health service, also requires an attempt on the Socio-economic assessment, cultural and behavioral diagnosis.
This study was undertaken in two Village Development Committees (VDC) of Morang district with the Specific objectives of: (1) to find out the practices of using traditional and modern medicine in the community. (2) Assess the satisfaction and dissatisfaction with traditional medicine and modern medicine or health services available. (3) Assess the expenses on health care. (4) Know various methods of self- care and types of therapies used by consumers. Attempts to 175 households’ visits were made particularly head of the households as respondents of the study. A Rajbanshi graduate and one more interviewer were trained prior to go to the community. With the help of these two-trained interviewers, the researcher had carried out interviews and conducted Focus Group Discussions.

  • Kirat Limbu Culture

    ByDr. Nawa Raj

    Human existence is believed to be incomplete without the enrichment of culture. Some individuals wholeheartedly immerse themselves in their cultural surroundings, while others observe from a distance.

    The ancient Kirat civilization of Nepal predates any religious texts we have. Unfortunately, their profound cultural wisdom has primarily faded, leading to a disheartening void in our understanding of ancient knowledge. The plight of the indigenous communities in the land nurtured by their toil and sacrifice is a cause for concern. Neglecting the valuable contributions of these indigenous communities in the name of progress leaves us incomplete.

    Through a thorough anthropological study of the Kirat Limbu community, we’ve arrived at factual and logical conclusions regarding the questions they’ve raised. This writer endeavors to share this information, driven purely by academic value and recognition.

    Recognizing his responsibility, this writer, in the later stages of life, has felt a sense of urgency in preserving the positivity of research. The book is published to document synthesized knowledge based on trustworthy information and data, thereby sharing it with readers.

    This book has expected to be a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the true essence of Nepali soil, to explore the rich Kirat civilization, its culture, and the intricate tapestry of ethnic issues—best of luck on this enlightening journey.
