A family in Kiambu County is demanding answers after Philice Wanjiru, aged 32, died on September 9, 2025, following a cesarean section at St. Teresa’s Maternity and Nursing Home. Her husband, Dennis Wanyonyi, alleges medical negligence after his wife developed severe complications from excessive blood loss and later died at Kenyatta National Hospital.

• Philice Wanjiru tragically died after a seemingly successful C-section due to severe complications from blood loss.
• Her husband, Dennis Wanyonyi, has appealed to the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) for an investigation.
• This is the second maternal death in the Uthiru and Kikuyu areas linked to C-sections in under two weeks, raising concerns about maternal care safety.
