Silent killer: Postpartum bleeding still claims ten mothers every day

When Eunice Atsali walked into Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) to deliver her second child, she was filled with excitement, ready to welcome her baby.

Nothing, however, could have prepared her for the ordeal that followed. A seasoned midwife, a lecturer at Kenyatta University, and an advocate for maternal health, Atsali was well-versed in childbirth; she had assisted countless mothers deliver safely.

But this time, she was the patient. Her Caesarean section (CS) was elective and planned. Having delivered her first child via CS without complications, she expected a routine procedure.
