NEPAL-HEALTH-INFANTS-WOMEN
To go with story 'Nepal-health-infants-women' by Ammu Kannampilly
In this photograph taken on September 11, 2014 Nepalese pregnant woman, Maysara Hamal descends the stairs at her home to meet with Nepalese Female Community Health Volunteer (FCHV) Bhumishara Upadhaya (unseen) at Barlamgi in the Dailekh district, some 600 kilometres west of Kathmandu. On a wet and windy morning, Nepalese housewife Bhumisara Upadhyay is out visiting pregnant women, on a mission to slash newborn deaths in the Himalayan nation with a simple tube of gel. Upadhyay is among thousands of volunteers at the front line of a campaign that has dramatically cut neonatal mortality in a country where nearly two-thirds of babies are born at home.
