This week I met with teams from the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) and Nepal’s B.P. Koirala Institute. Their partnership is strengthening early detection, awareness, and treatment of noncommunicable diseases at local health posts in Koshi.
On the cover, one of the winning photos from our #LancetHighlights photography competition captures a man arriving for his first medical test at the age of 83 years.

There is a dire need to strengthen primary care delivery in LMICs to carry the NCDs burden. Let’s act before our health systems are overwhelmed by the epidemic.

Great map by @Indian_Rivers that I found online which gives an overview of all proposed and constructed dams in the Teesta basin.
The dam that has failed is Teesta III at Chungthang, Sikkim. You can see it as No 27 in the map.
Interesting that this this a 60 metre high rock fill dam. It is on paper 'run of the river' but the storage is substantial.
It is the largest hydroelectric project in Sikkim - a whopping 1,200 Mw and it cost over Rs 14,000+ cr to build.
Let that sink in.
This is an infrastructure disaster unprecedented in the history of India!
