With the increased Caesarian sections in Kenya, it is expected cases of post-Caesarean wound infections will increase in parallel. However, one hospital in Kenya has posted an impressively low rate, which is below the global figure. The Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi says from about 1,262 Caesarians performed between November 1, 2021 and October 31, 2022, only about 27 women (2.1 per cent), developed infections at the surgical site. The hospital said most infections are superficial, mostly caused by bacterial infection. “The most common surgical site infection (SSI) symptom was oozing from the wound in 67 per cent cases,” David Odada, a clinical nurse at the facility, and his three colleagues said. The others are Jasmit Shah, Annastacia Mbithi and Reena Shah, all from the hospital’s Department of Internal Medicine.
