Free ambulance helps save mothers and babies in lockdown

As soon as Kenya introduced a coronavirus curfew, Dr Jemimah Kariuki, an obstetrician-gynaecologist at Nairobi’s Kenyatta Hospital, started seeing more death and complications. 

“Every time I went to the hospital it was fewer numbers but more complications...and when women died alone in childbirth, I was like ‘in 2020?’ You are dying? Alone?,” she said.
