When 25-year-old Karen Towet checked into a public hospital in Kapsabet, Nandi County, she expected to hold her newborn baby and leave the hospital.
However, Towet, who was admitted with normal labour, died hours later after a difficult labour which had earlier forced the doctors to conduct an emergency caesarean surgery in a bid to save the mother and the baby. Sharon Chemutai, Towet’s relative, told The Standard that she was admitted for delivery at the maternity unit on Thursday at 7pm.
