Kenya struggles to tame rising cases of newborn deaths

Two years ago, Scola Mueni was excited to become a mother, but what she is holding onto now is a memory— 30 minutes cuddling time with her son.

Ms Mueni rushed to Mbagathi District Hospital immediately labour started. She had taken care of her pregnancy as she was advised by the doctor, she had no reason to worry, but her child died a few minutes after being born.
