For two months now, a patient who we will call Jane for ethical purposes, has been fighting to stay alive. At the age of 18, she has seen the worst; battling the jaws of death with the help of doctors and God.

The Form Four student ought to be in class today. However, she has been confined in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) bed since February this year.

Jane has been in two hospitals now. She was initially at Kenyatta University Teaching Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH). This was before she was admitted at the Aga Khan University Hospital.
