Quintuplets admitted to Kenyatta National Hospital for specialized neonatal care have tragically passed away, according to a statement released by the hospital on Wednesday. The newborns, born via normal delivery to 28-year-old Mercy Kanini in Juja, Kiambu County, on September 13, were transferred from Thika Level Five Hospital where they were born at an extremely premature gestational age of 25 weeks.
The statement, signed by Acting Chief Executive Officer Dr. Joel Lessan, detailed the significant clinical challenges faced by the quintuplets from the moment of their admission. Despite the dedication of the hospital's multidisciplinary neonatal team, which included neonatologists, nurses, and allied health professionals, the hospital confirmed that all five newborns, including four girls and one boy, had sadly passed away.
The hospital expressed its deepest condolences to the family, acknowledging the profound loss and extending its support during this difficult time.
