The district hospital in Rukum East reports the first C-section birth. As hospital’s Dr Purna Bahadur Pun said, Shantu Budha of Bhume rural municipality-8 in the district gave a birth to her child through a surgery.
A medical team led by Dr Narayan Baral conducted cesarean procedures for the post-term delivery on the women. Both mother and child are doing well, it is said.
The then Rukumkot-based health post was upgraded to the district health post on December 22, 2017.
It may be noted that a building for the C-section was built here around one and a half years ago with the support of the Parliamentarian Development Fund and the Sisne rural municipality. The then House of Representatives ( HoR) Kamala Roka provided Rs 1.4 million from the Parliament Development Fund and the local government contributed Rs 3.5 million.(RSS)
