Birthing suite extension for health post in remote village of Arnakot in mountainous Nepal.

We are raising funds to build a much needed birthing suite extension to the existing health post. Home births in remote settings can be very dangerous, and this facility will enable women to give birth in safer surroundings by the trained midwives.

Story

Two nurses and one paramedic work at the Arnakot health post every day, treating 300 people a month for all their health needs. Although the health post closes at 4pm, the nurses, who are also trained midwives, work 24/7 to respond to emergencies including deliveries.

The current health post has only two rooms and no private space to accommodate women in labour. The planned extension includes a dedicated birthing suite that not only gives the women the privacy they need, but also provides a clean space and essential equipment to ensure deliveries are carried out as safely as possible.
