Kenya faces a significant challenge in maternal healthcare, with approximately 16 women dying every day from pregnancy-related causes. This statistic highlights the persistent gaps in access to timely and quality maternal care, despite improvements in some newborn and child health indicators. The government and private sector are responding to this challenge by investing in maternal and neonatal services.
The latest intervention is a new 200–250-bed Mother and Baby Hospital being constructed in Chebunyo, Bomet County, through a partnership between the government and Amsons Group. This hospital aims to expand access to emergency obstetric care and specialised newborn services, particularly in counties carrying a disproportionate share of maternal deaths. The construction of this hospital is a significant step towards addressing the high maternal mortality rate in Kenya.
