Floods drive 33 pregnant women to Kathmandu for childbirth

Following severe flooding on August 26, 33 pregnant women have been forced to travel to Kathmandu to access essential maternity services. The influx of patients comes as local healthcare infrastructure in the Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts remains significantly disrupted by the disaster.

Despite the relocation of these patients, the broader humanitarian impact remains critical. Many other pregnant women in the affected regions are currently unable to reach Kathmandu for medical care due to extensive damage to local road networks.
