This life-saving “maternal and child health project” would not have been possible without the support of SWAN Deutschland e.V. People of Humla, particularly women, are really grateful to receive support from SWAN. Likewise, we’re grateful to the technical received from Global Partners for Child Health, and University of Utah, Center for Medical Innovations, Global Programs, and Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), USA.
In addition, the local government has applauded the efforts made by SWAN Nepal and Germany in the reduction of maternal and neonatal deaths in Humla. To conclude, rural communities have now understood the value of well-equipped birthing centres, trained health workers, and assisted deliveries in the local health facilities. SWAN believes that we have been able to improve maternal and child health outcomes through sustainable interventions in the low-resource settings of Humla district.
