A nurse attends to a newborn at the Mother and Child Unit at the Vihiga Teaching and Referral Hospital. [Brian Kisanji, Standard]
Peter Wafula took his wife to hospital when she was due to deliver. She was in pain, but there was no nurse to receive her.
At admission, she was directed to undergo a scan, but the hospital system took longer to approve the test. After waiting for about two hours, Wafula’s wife suddenly felt the baby coming.
He quickly unfolded curtains around the area, hoping she could deliver there, as other patients in the waiting bay rushed to help.
