Comatose woman gives birth at KNH

By Gardy Chacha
On July 2, two policemen picked a woman they found in a coma and took her to Kenyatta National Hospital. They did not explain where they collected her from but medics, guided by oath of service to humanity, immediately started her on treatment.

The doctors’ preliminary analysis of the woman’s vital signs showed her temperature was very high. This in addition to her almost vegetative state indicated there was a probable viral-bacterial infection of the system that circumvents the brain and the spinal cord.
