Birthing centres bring relief to outlying Baglung villages

Thirty-six birthing centres were established in remote areas of Baglung in the last three years, according to the District Health Office.

Anjana BK, a 27-year-old woman from Ramuwa in Galkot Municipality Ward 10, gave birth to her second child at the urban health centre in her village one and a half months ago. For the birth of her first child three years ago, she had to go to a health post in Pandavkhani, a three-hour bus ride from Ramuwa.
