During your midwifery placement in Kathmandu, you'll see that our partner hospital delivers an average of 100 babies per day, there'll never be a quiet moment on your placement! The hospital also houses labor wards, postnatal wards, and post-op wards, all of which you can work in. You’ll soon find there's never a dull moment outside the hospital either - the majestic Himalayan mountains lay just outside the city, as does the opportunity to go white water rafting, bungee jumping, and paragliding.
