Kalikot, June 27: Two health posts in rural Kalikot have received essential medical equipment for maternity care.
The beneficiaries are Nanikot health post in Pachaljharana rural municipality-7 and Dhaulagoha health post in Palanta rural municipality-2. One Heart Worldwide and VDSEF Nepal funded for providing the devices to the health facilities.
Kalpana Rawal, Chair of VDSEF, said that the donated equipment includes baby warmer sets, emergency toilets, autoclaves, stretchers, folding beds, delivery sets, EP sets, pregnancy tools, oxygen cylinders, and other essential items.
Himal Sanjyal, Public Health Officer of the Palanta rural municipality’s health section, expressed gratitude for the assistance, highlighting the challenges previously faced due to inadequate delivery tools which sometimes forced referrals. He said this support is itself a relief for the birthing centers in the district’s rural areas which are grappling with the shortage of resources.
