Thanking Director-General Dr Tedros Abraham for conferring the Award to her Dr Kariuki, says it is also a recognition that maternal health matters to the World’s health body. This, she says, is a way of spreading the message that – no woman should die in the 21st Century while giving birth, worse of it dying alone in the house due to restrictions of Covid-19.
