A mother in Juja, Mercy Kanini, has tragically lost four of her five newborns following a rare quintuplet birth. The babies, born prematurely and with extremely low birth weights, required specialized care.

• Four of the five babies died after being transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital.
• The surviving baby is receiving specialized medical attention at KNH.
• Mercy Kanini delivered the quintuplets via normal delivery, a highly unusual event for multiple births.
