| dc.description.abstract | Abstract People from rural areas of Nepal struggle to have access to adequate medical care on time. Most of the tertiary centres are overburdened by patients, while the peripheral health facilities have been unable to function efficiently due to a lack of infrastructures and skilled manpower needed to run hospitals smoothly. We present a case of a 21-year-old primigravida at 41 weeks and 3 days of gestation with mild COVID-19 symptoms who underwent a Caesarean section for non-progression of labour and foetal distress at a primary health care centre in Nepal; however, both maternal and foetal outcomes were favourable. Therefore, upgrading the quality of care in peripheral health facilities can help in the achievement of accessibility, equity, and quality in health care service in Nepal. | |
