Two Women with Complicated Pregnancy Conditions Airlifted from Rasuwa

Kathmandu : Two women with complicated obstetric conditions are being airlifted to Kathmandu after road transportation was disrupted by the flood in the Bhotekoshi River in Rasuwa on Bhadra 10.

Thirty-year-old Sushma Devkota of Uttargaya Rural Municipality-3 and 26-year-old Apsara Bhatt of Uttargaya Rural Municipality-4 developed serious obstetric complications. As treatment was not possible at local health facilities, arrangements were made to airlift them to Kathmandu for further medical care.

Both women are being transported by helicopter to Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital in Thapathali, Kathmandu.

The flood in the Bhotekoshi River on Bhadra 10 disrupted roads and transportation services in the affected areas, creating challenges in providing pregnant and postpartum women requiring emergency medical care with timely access to well-equipped hospitals.

In these difficult circumstances, necessary coordination has been carried out to arrange rescue and treatment for pregnant and postpartum women facing serious health complications, with the aim of saving lives.
