The Pokhara-Komagane Citizens’ Friendship Association recently conducted a successful training program in Japan, focusing on enhancing social work initiatives. This program was designed to improve maternal and child health services by fostering collaboration between healthcare professionals from both countries. The training included sessions on prenatal and postnatal care, capacity development, and the introduction of innovative practices such as the Kawate Breast Massage. This visit strengthened the long-standing relationship between Pokhara and Komagane, with a shared goal of promoting community welfare and creating a lasting impact through collaborative social efforts.
The training program in Japan was a remarkable opportunity for participants from Pokhara to learn from Japanese experts and exchange valuable insights on social work practices, particularly in the areas of healthcare and community development. The initiative emphasized the importance of strengthening ties between the two cities, aiming to improve healthcare infrastructure and foster cultural exchange. Key areas of focus included enhancing maternal and child health services, developing healthcare professionals’ capacities, and introducing new healthcare innovations to Pokhara.
This visit also reinforced the enduring partnership between Pokhara and Komagane, which has flourished over the years through mutual cooperation. By leveraging the knowledge and resources gained during this program, the association seeks to implement sustainable social work projects that will benefit the local community in Pokhara. This collaboration not only enhances healthcare services but also promotes a deeper connection between the people of Nepal and Japan, ensuring long-term development and shared prosperity.
