Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldiers deployed at the Gherille Forward Operation Base (FOB) in Wajir County aided an expectant woman to successfully deliver a baby while on patrol.
In a statement on Wednesday, May 29, KDF stated that the woman, Mrs. Quresha Mungay, had traveled from Somalia to seek delivery services at the Gherille dispensary.
However, due to the limited capabilities of the facility, the soldiers in patrol took up the task and helped Mrs. Mungay deliver a baby girl in 30 minutes.
“The mother had traveled from Gherille (Somalia) and sought delivery services at the Gherille (Kenya) Dispensary which has limited medical capabilities.
