The behind-the-scenes story of a video that earned Nepal health workers global praises

On the morning of June 15, 2021, health workers of Tukuche and Kowang health posts were on their way to get the Covid-19 vaccines. But, the Chaktang river in Thasang rural municipality of Mustang got flooded, and they were left stranded.

The municipality had informed the locals above 55 years of age to get vaccinated. But, with the flood, it was not possible to cross the river. Hence, they hacked a way to deliver the vaccines using a long (iron) pipe. And, their feat is being praised by the international community as well.
