Chitwan Women Opt for Health Facilities for Childbirth
Chitwan. Local women of Chitwan have started going to local health posts, birthing centers, and hospitals for maternity services.
In recent years, increased access to health institutions, free maternity services, and rising awareness levels have led women to opt for nearby health posts, birthing centers, and hospitals instead of relying on traditional midwives (Sudeni).
In Chitwan's Bharatpur District Hospital, seven thousand eight hundred fifty-three women received maternity services in the fiscal year 2082/083. The previous fiscal year, eight thousand four hundred twenty people received this service, informed Dr. Ram Prasad Sapkota, Senior Obstetrician at the hospital.
