A 13-year-old girl died in Mamboleo in Kisumu County on Monday, after she performed unsafe abortion to herself. The girl used a cloth hanger while trying to abort her 4-weeks pregnancy, which led to the injury of her womb resulting to over bleeding. She lost her life while being rushed to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga teaching and referral hospital.
According to a doctor at the medical facility, the girl died because she had lost a lot of blood. The doctor said that they were shocked because the girl had destroyed her womb completely with the hanger. There were big cuts inside her womb and despite her trying to abort the pregnancy, she wasn’t successful.
