Abstract:
The 2015 earthquake caused severe damage to the health system in Nepal. 446 health facilities were destroyed, the majority of which offered birthing services. About 93,000 pregnant women were at risk for adverse birth outcomes. There was a gap of health service delivery between the earthquake and the set-up of a local and international health service delivery response. This thesis explores the effects the 2015 earthquake had on maternal and neonatal health and identifies strategies to foster community resilience for maternal and neonatal health for future disasters
