It was April 7, 2019, just three days after an emergency surgery at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Maharajgunj for an ectopic pregnancy that nearly cost Binu Yadav her life. Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, usually in one of the fallopian tubes.
