Officers from the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) rescued a pregnant woman in Wajir County on Friday, March 22, after she had been in labor for several hours.The soldiers encountered the woman while carrying out an operation close to Gherille, according to a KDF statement.

Since there was nowhere to take care of them medically, the officers stepped in and assisted her in giving birth.

According to KDF, the officers proceeded to transport the mother and her newborn child to a nearby medical facility so that they could receive medical attention as per standard protocol.

KDF troops under Close Operations from Gherille while on patrol in the area came to the aid of a pregnant woman who had been in labour for hours. The patrol medics managed to facilitate a safe delivery to a healthy baby boy.

“The mother, Salma Osman, was handed her healthy baby boy. The mother and the newborn were later taken to Gherille Health facility for postnatal care and vaccination,” read the statement in part.

In addition, KDF gave meals to celebrate the baby’s birth after the delivery went well.

“The patrol also offered the family a basket of delicacies in keeping with the Kenyan custom of welcoming a newborn. We hope the mother and child have good health,” said KDF.

Kenyans celebrated the officers on social media for their generosity and for going above and beyond to make sure the mother and her baby got medical care after hearing about the incident.

The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) have aided expectant mothers before; this is not the first time.Troops stationed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) helped a mother deliver her baby safely in May 2023. Surprisingly, at the time, the soldiers were involved in an operation to deal with the insurgent group M23.

Apart from their main responsibilities, the orderly forces additionally supplied the new family with necessary food supplies throughout the surgery.
