Woman denied surgery at Pumwani loses baby

What you need to know:

  • Her husband Kevin Mugoha. She continued pushing until she ran out of breathe, he added.
  • “She was rushed to theatre on Sunday morning in a bad condition while still on oxygen,” he said. Her worst fears were confirmed in the theatre.
  • “I was told the baby had died. He had ingested the fluids in the womb and was stuck,” she said.
  • It is during the process of removing the baby that the womb ruptured, Mr Mugoha said.

Faith Nzula, 26, expected to come out of the hospital with a bouncing baby when she went to deliver a month ago.

But she lost the baby and is now nursing wounds from a Caesarean  section (CS) surgery and a ruptured uterus. She may never be able to get another baby, at least not any time soon.
