24-year-old Shivani is in the third trimester of her pregnancy. She has travelled 50 km to get to Rudraprayag, fighting fever and severe cramps. But even here, she can't get the help she needs, as the only gynaecologist on duty is out on another emergency. So she has to head to the next hospital, another 35 km away. It can take anywhere upto four hours to travel the distance. In these hilly terrain, ravaged by floods and landslides, that could be the difference between life and death.
