Construction work for the new health and birthing centre in Baiteshwor complete - work on outside access area delayed by escalating costs.
This week the WHO highlighted the urgent need for countries in SE Asia including Nepal, to strengthen healthcare systems to help prevent, detect, and manage birth defects. The Nestling Trust together with the Nepal government has funded the construction of a new Health and Birthing Centre at Baiteshwor, now complete. Negotiations are currently underway with the new Nepalese government, for work to commence on clearing the outside area to make access for emergency vehicles - this requires a gabion retention wall, and for staffing of the centre.
