Hospital’s senior consultant and gynecologist Dr Ramprasad Sapkota shared that the infected expecting mothers were kept separately in the hospital as they had tested positive for the coronavirus.

The path used by the infected ones has been sealed off for others to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 to others, informed Dr Sapkota. Ventilators have been kept in place for the new born babies in case of emergency. Among the eight expecting mothers, three deliveries were normal while five underwent cesarean delivery.

The new mothers were from various districts such as Nawalparashi, Chitwan, Gorkha, Saptari and Makawanpur.
