A woman delivered a healthy baby with the help of passengers and the ENA Coach bus staff after she went into labour on the bus.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, July 7, evening, after the woman had boarded a Nairobi to Sori bus and started experiencing labour pains after the journey started.
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, ENA Coach, Social Media Manager, Willish Adur, said that the incident happened around the National Museum. After a successful delivery, the mother and baby were handed over to Red Cross officials, who took them to Mountain View Hospital.
"The woman boarded a bus from Nairobi heading to Sori, and approaching the National Museum, she started experiencing labour. We called the Kenya Red Cross, who responded swiftly and took them to Mountain View Hospital for further medical attention," Adur said on a phone call.
Commenting on the incident, ENA Coach management confirmed that their staff and other passengers stepped in and helped the mother deliver.
"This evening, a healthy baby was safely delivered aboard our Nairobi–Sori bound bus, KDK 036U. We are immensely proud of our staff and fellow passengers who stepped up with care and compassion during this remarkable experience."
"Welcome to the world, Baby 036U – may your life be filled with health, happiness, and endless adventures," the ENA Coach stated.
The woman and the newborn, after a successful delivery, were taken to a nearby hospital for admission and further medical attention.
This incident comes a couple of months after another woman delivered in yet another ENA Coach bus heading out of Nairobi.
"Remarkably, this joyful event comes just under two months after we welcomed Baby 035U on one of our buses. From all of us here, congratulations to the proud mother and her family," a statement by Ena Coach read.
