Apsara recently led the team who safely delivered these lovely twins at her health post in Humla. Although it was recommended that the mother go to hospital for this higher-risk delivery, travelling to the nearest hospital was not an option for her due to lack of finances. This highlights that having highly-qualified staff at rural health posts is vital. Great work Apsara!
