Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) announced on Wednesday the loss of quintuplets who had been transferred from Thika Level Five Hospital for specialized care. In a statement, KNH disclosed that the infants were born prematurely at 25 weeks and weighed very little, making their condition very serious from the moment they arrived at the hospital.
The hospital's team of specialists, including doctors, nurses, and other health professionals, provided all the specialized treatment they could to try and help the newborns. "Despite the best efforts of our medical teams and the care they gave, all five babies sadly died," KNH said in the statement. The hospital expressed their deep sorrow and offered their sympathy to the mother and the whole family.
"We know how much it hurts to lose five newborns and we are with the family as they go through this very hard time," the statement concluded. The statement was signed by Dr Joel Lessan, who is the Acting Chief Executive Officer of Kenyatta National Hospital.
