Skilled Baglung nurse saves mothers from deadly bleeding with ‘condom tamponade’ procedure

Staff nurse Parbati Aryal at Burtibang Hospital has already saved 42 mothers and trained 60 healthcare workers in the lifesaving technique.

A woman from ward 8 of Badigad Rural Municipality suffered excessive bleeding after giving birth at home last year. She lost consciousness due to postpartum hemorrhage, prompting her family to carry her on foot for eight hours to the then Burtibang Primary Health Center (now Burtibang Hospital).
