Women in remote Baglung village are sent to animal sheds to give birth

Many women die for want of treatment and maternity care in Dhiri since they do not go to hospitals for delivery.

Three years ago, Narita Gotame was forced to go to an animal shed in a forest, around a two-hour walk from her house, to give birth to her daughter. She stayed at the animal shed for a month with her newborn before she made her way home.
