Abstract: COVID-19, a novel corona virus has affected the life of each and every individual
worldwide. Nepal being the neighborhood country of china, though, we had
a late case detection. But, since the month of July this virus has spread in an
alarming manner in Nepal. Nepal being one of the developing countries, we lack
in equipments, manpower resources and also in treatment centers. Looking into
the devastating scenario of Covid 19 in China, Italy, New York, Brazil and our
neighboring countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh is scary. We wondered
how we were going to handle this pandemic if similar circumstances happened in
our country too. At the same time being OBGYN residents, we all know pregnancy
is very crucial and our patients have faced much difficulties to receive the maternal
health services. In this manuscript, we have shared our experience regarding
preparedness for COVID-19, management of positive cases and its effect in OBGYN
trainee.
