Did you know there are over 35,000 still births in Kenya every year?

"Last year, early morning when doctors were on a go-slow (strike), we were called to go help a woman who was in labour just outside Korogocho Health Centre... the health officers were inside the facility. Unfortunately, the baby was delivered outside the hospital, and due to the cold morning, it passed away.” - Community Health Volunteer, Korogocho Nairobi
Some of you might remember this story, which broke my heart to pieces. As a mother, I believe that no mother deserves to bury her child, especially if it is due to lack of access to medical care.
Our mothers raise our nation, and yet too many of them are left to suffer in silence at their most vulnerable time of childbirth, due to inadequate or inaccessible public maternity services. In order to reduce maternal deaths and stillbirths, the Government of Kenya’s Free Maternity Service policy abolished the user fee for maternity care in 2013. However, over 35,000 stillbirths occur each year[1] and over 6,000 Kenyan mothers die annually from preventable maternal causes.
Help us ensure mother's do not lose their children or their own lives during childbirth by signing this petition bit.ly/32jKo4H this will push government to allocate adequate personnel and resources to provide maternity services (antenatal, prenatal) services in all levels 1-3 public health institutions among other key initiatives.
