As we make our way to the newborn unit at Pumwani Maternity Hospital in Nairobi, the hallway is filled with shrieking sounds of infants crying relentlessly.
A team of about 15 nurses is already at work. They are changing diapers and feeding preterm infants (babies born too soon before 37 weeks of pregnancy are completed).
We meet Lilian Nthenya, 31, who for the last one week has been staying at the hospital after delivering a set of preterm twins currently placed in an incubator and labelled ‘Lilian Twin 1’ and ‘Lilian Twin 2’.
