KATHMADU: Lack of health care during pregnancy continues to claim lives in the far flung districts of the country.

Mina Kumari Shahi, 23 of Naraharinath Rural Municipality-7 in Kalikot district died in lack of postnatal treatment.

As the umbilical cord did not fall upon delivery, that led to blood hemorrhage. In lack of medical treatment at the local health institutions, she died at Guranse area of Dailekh district on the way to a better health facility at Surkhet.

Prior to this, pregnancy complications had claimed the life of Chanda Shah at Manma.
