Dr. Patrick Amoth: We believe the patient was aware that he was unwell and contacted his relatives, who picked him up from the airport. It is possible that the medication he was taking masked some of his symptoms, resulting in a false-negative screening outcome.

Getting more mothers into health facilities is an important step. Ensuring they receive quality and respectful care is the next.
At the #KenyaHealthSummit2026, @DrPatrickAmoth highlighted the progress Kenya has made, with nearly 9 out of 10 mothers now delivering in health facilities.
The focus now must be on what happens when a mother arrives: care that is safe, quality, respectful and responsive to her needs.
