Building the Foundation of Quality MNH Care

Well-equipped and well-maintained health facilities are the bedrock of better outcomes for mothers and newborns.

We strengthen that physical foundation that puts the facilities, equipment, and dedicated spaces needed to support every mother and newborn in place. 

How We Create the Conditions for Safe, Quality Care

In their own words

  • Rana Bahadur Karki

    PROJECT ADVISOR, WOMEN EMPOWERMENT CENTER, DOLPA DISTRICT

    “The Maternity Waiting Home has provided a shelter for pregnant mothers who can’t afford the hotel costs while traveling to the District Hospital in Dolpa for their newborn baby’s delivery. There, they can stay the night in a comfortable bed with a warm quilt covering. They can also cook their food by bringing the ingredients to use in the equipped kitchen of the Maternity Waiting Home. Before, when they couldn’t afford the hotels, the pregnant mother and their family had to stay in herds while traveling to the District Hospital for treatment due to cultural and religious beliefs and rituals of cleanliness when a baby is born. The locals and district officials are very happy with the construction of a beautiful and well-equipped Maternity Waiting Home.”

    “The new Health Post was better in every way. I had no fear at all, it was spacious; I could walk around easily in the hospital premise. Also, there were sufficient lights, warmth and cleanliness inside the room unlike in the previous Health Post. The toilet was inside the Health Post building which made me very comfortable to work even at night.”
