Gorkha: Sarita Gurung of Dharche village was rushed to local health center following labour pain. When the health center could not treat her citing lack of expertise and equipment needed to treat her, she was taken to TU Teaching Hospital in the capital on 28 July.The family had to airlift her to Kathmandu as the place she lives in the northern part of the district is not connected to roadways. \r\nOfficials say that though there is budget for providing airfare in cases of critical health emergencies, only few claim it due to lack of awareness. |
