| Abstract |
BackgroundDevelopment assistance for health (DAH) promotes health development in low and middle income countries. China and India, as emerging donors, have scaled-up their DAH programs during the recent years. Nepal, as a neighboring country to China and India, has witnessed the history and development of China¿s and India¿s DAH.MethodsThis research uses a literature review and in-depth individual interviewing to compare the history and forms of DAH given from China and India to Nepal.ResultsDuring 60-years of DAH to Nepal, China and India have gradually increased the scale and forms of DAH, and both focus on dispatching medical teams or faculty, building health facilities and gifting medicines and equipment. However, the inclusiveness of Nepalese culture, diplomatic interests, and Nepal¿s cultural, linguistic and geographical closeness to India make the DAH of India different from that of China. India¿s DAH also includes support to grass roots NGOs and public health interventions.ConclusionChina¿s and India¿s insistence on a recipient-driven mechanism keeps the aid programs aligned with Nepal¿s health development plan and respects Nepal¿s ¿ownership¿. China can learn from India to start the development assistance for health related NGOs and public health intervention. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 January 2015.
All research outputs
#19,457,325
of 23,930,168 outputs
Outputs from Globalization and Health
#1,065
of 1,148 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#271,009
of 369,759 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Globalization and Health
#21
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,930,168 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,148 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 22.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 369,759 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
