I am honoured to be an Official Nominee for the 5th Keturah Mental Health Awards 2026.

This year’s theme is:

“Holding Mothers While Holding the World.”

Mothers carry so much — families, children, work, ministry, communities, responsibilities, silent battles, and emotional burdens — while still showing up with strength, love, and grace.

As part of the KMH Awards Community Engagement phase, I would love to hear from you:

What is your most cherished memory of your mother or a mother figure in your life?

▪︎ Was it her words of encouragement?
▪︎ Her prayers?
▪︎ Her sacrifices?
▪︎ Her quiet strength?
▪︎ A meal she prepared?
▪︎ A moment when she showed up for you when you needed her most?

Sometimes the smallest moments leave the deepest impact.

Let us use this space to honour mothers, mother figures, grandmothers, aunties, sisters, caregivers, and women who have held families and communities together — even when they also needed to be held.

Please share your memory or message of appreciation in the comments.

Your voices matter. Together, we are breaking the silence and building a future where no one struggles alone.

Let’s celebrate, honour, and raise awareness around the mental wellness of mothers.

Mothers hold the world — they deserve to be held too.

No parent should experience baby loss because of failed systems.
We have failed so much as a country.

.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED ITS OWN PEOPLE. A NEWBORN LOST AT MARGARET KENYATTA HOSPITAL.
Let’s be honest: we do not have a functioning healthcare system. A close family member lost their newborn baby at Margaret Kenyatta Hospital. The circumstances are nothing short of heartbreaking and point to criminal negligence. The baby was born during an emergency caesarean at Mimosa Cottage, Marurui, on 11th March 2026, weighing a healthy 3kg. For the first six hours, things seemed fine. The baby was placed on oxygen, but the hospital lacked the facilities to handle the escalating case.

The baby was referred to Margaret Kenyatta Hospital on 13th March 2026, where the situation turned into a nightmare. There was zero preparedness for intensive neonatal care and no proper equipment available. The baby developed Respiratory Distress Syndrome and urgently needed a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine. The hospital did not have one.

Cruelty Instead of Care:
The hospital staff offered no help with the referral. Instead, they told the family to "look for an Intensive Care Unit that can handle it." The father was forced to call hospitals himself to find a bed for his critically ill newborn. He spent the entire night Googling and calling every major government hospital in Nairobi. None of them had space. Private hospitals were no better, demanding massive upfront deposits before even considering admission:

1. Nairobi West: KES 250,000
2. Savannah: KES 200,000
3. Radiant Hospital KES 200,000
4. St. Francis Kasarani: KES 200,000
5. Mother and Child Hospital Eastleigh: KES 150,000 (despite having no ICU)

While the baby fought for her life, the nurses allegedly slept through the night. The mother, fresh from surgery, had to wake up every two hours to check on her child because the oxygen mask kept detaching. She was the one who had to go and wake the nurses for help.

In a moment no parent should ever endure, the baby was removed from the oxygen and handed back to the mother. The nurse told her to "confirm the baby is still breathing," so she couldn't later claim she was handed a dead infant. When the baby passed, the nurses simply scripted it as an "emergency case" and walked away. This isn't just the failure of one hospital; it is the failure of the entire system, including SHA. It is a scam.

A mother survives surgery only to be left alone to fight for her baby’s life. A father is left begging for a hospital bed by Googling hospital phone numbers, only to be told the baby’s life can’t be saved without paying a huge cash deposit. The parents buried the baby girl yesterday at Langata Cemetery.

This is the reality for the ordinary Kenyan citizen. We demand better. Our people deserve better.

Access alone is not enough. More preventable maternal and newborn deaths occur because of poor quality than lack of access to care. Quality maternal and newborn health care must be safe, effective, timely, efficient, equitable, and people-centered — ensuring that every contact with the health system delivers real benefit to mothers and babies.

Some days motherhood feels heavy —
and that doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful.

It means you’re human.

You’re not alone.
