Senior Anami Rajkumari Gurung of Kholasothar Rural Municipality of Lamjung looks very happy after the installation of 'Bevy Warm' machine in the delivery room along with the new building of Maling Primary Hospital. She has been providing delivery services at Maling Primary Health Center for 30 years. She said that in the past it was very difficult to protect newborn babies from cold.

'The heater should have been turned on to protect the newborn. Now, Bevy Vam equipment has arrived in the well-organized newly built hospital,' Gurung said, 'After getting this equipment, children can be saved from cold. We used to give birth in a narrow room, now we are shocked to get a building.'

Maling Primary Hospital located in Kholasothar Rural Municipality of Lamjung has been completed on 4th January. With the inauguration of the hospital by the Minister of Communication and Information Technology, Prithvisubba Gurung, the locals are happy to get quality services at the local level. Senior Anmi Gurung is a local here. She has been giving birth for thirty years and is overjoyed to have a well-equipped delivery room with necessary equipment and equipment to warm the newborn. He is of the opinion that it is now easier to provide services as he had to give birth in risky conditions before, and effective protection can be given to mother and baby. 

Gurung looked at the baby warm equipment in the delivery room of the hospital for a long time. She was happy to get the necessary equipment for newborn babies, remembering the many challenges she had to face in the village while providing delivery services for 30 years. 'Thirty years ago, it was customary for Sudanese women to give birth in the village. When giving birth at any home, Sudeni used to call me only when she could not,' said Gurung. 

Gurung, who has always performed the religion of a health worker, used to walk for four/five hours to reach the service at her doorstep. 'Someone's 'normal delivery'  would have been Some would stop urinating. There was a situation where some people would get stuck, some could not give birth for a long period of time. No one remembers the good and easy childbirth. When there was a complicated situation during delivery, only then would I remember myself,' she remembers the past. 

Gurung said that there are still many moments when the body jiring when remembering the experience of the services provided as a health worker. An incident happened three decades ago, that incident haunts him again and again. Narrating her experience, she said, 'It was November, winter. The society was not as liberal as it is now in terms of caste. It was a challenge to go to Dalit's house and provide maternity services in a society where it is believed that seeing the Dalit community does not cause death.' As soon as he entered the health service, he decided to dedicate his life to human service, so he has the courage to face any challenge.

Gurung said that in the eyes of a health worker, there is no caste or religion, only humanity and service. 'He was destroying the birth of the Dalit community. As soon as I came to know, I reached his house. After a long labor of two days, she gave birth to a son. The family was happy that they had a son. He started telling his relatives and neighbors. Even after giving birth, I was worried. The newborn was suffocated. He was not able to breathe. The baby does not cry or make a sound. I was heartbroken,' she said. Gurung mentioned that when she told the family the fact that the child was not breathing, they all started crying and she immediately put her mouth on the child's mouth and started breathing. After about half an hour, the child started screaming and crying. When the baby cried, the whole family started laughing with joy. Today, I was happy to give life to a new-born baby, so I started crying with the baby,' she said. 

It is his experience that when a child cries, he can't hold back and he cries too. Gurung's heart fills with love when he sees that boy who is now studying in the village school. She says, 'I look at his face. And I smile and just say thank you to God.' 

Gurung said that the priceless asset she earned as a health worker is the safety of mothers and children. When it comes to giving birth, she can't even say the festival. On one day, she was busy at the maternity hospital for three days. Tenth is over. Gurung returned home only after giving birth. "It's over, I don't know," she said. 

The government is paying 255 rupees per person for coming to the hospital and giving birth. When she went to the village to give birth, she helped the poor families by giving them money, clothes and food. There are people who cannot even buy a clean cloth after giving birth. At times like this, I have arranged clothes myself,' said Gurung. She said that sometimes when it is not possible to give birth, they even collect the necessary funds to take her to the district hospital.

'They start crying because they don't have money because they have to send them to the hospital immediately,' Gurung said, 'At times like this, I manage the expenses by myself, sometimes with others, and most of them are honest and return it.'
