dc.description.abstractAbstract Nepal has a health care system that is complicated by access, affordability, and availability. The geographical difficulty makes the health care reach to public more difficult. Nepal being a disasterprone country, it makes very important to strengthen the disaster preparedness up to the mark before the disaster strikes. During disaster and public health emergencies, the healthcare system quickly becomes overwhelmed or structural damage makes it non-functional, which necessitate the prior identification of Alternate Care Site by health service providers. Incorporating the identification of Alternate Care Sites into the Hospital Disaster Preparedness Plan represents a crucial transition from theoretical discussion to practical implementation for strengthening healthcare facilities. . This paper discusses the concept of Alternate Care site and its implementation in Nepal’s health emergency preparedness for disaster and public health emergencies.
