Yvonne Kidenda, a mother of two, has suffered the brunt of Covid-19 while in her third trimester.
Persistent cough, loss of smell and taste and shortness of breath saw her seeking emergency care.
“After a restless night, I called an ambulance and was rushed into the ICU,” she recalls her near-death experience this January when she underwent an emergency C-Section after her condition worsened.
“Upon delivery, a few hours later I got a heart attack,” narrates Yvonne. “They tried to resuscitate me. A few hours later I had a second heart attack. I had two heart attacks in a span of six hours and then I went into a coma for three weeks.”
