Woman gives birth to conjoined triplets in Vihiga then watches miracle unfold after mysterious call

 

Residents of Hamisi in Vihiga County were left in disbelief on Monday, August 4, 2025, after a young mother delivered three baby girls who were shockingly joined at the chest, stomach and lower abdomen in what doctors called an extremely rare and complicated case of triplet conjoinment.

The 24-year-old mother, identified only as Brenda to protect her privacy, had gone into labour at a local dispensary and later transferred in panic to Vihiga County Referral Hospital after midwives noticed the first baby was emerging with limbs tangled unusually with those of two others.

Doctors and nurses rushed to conduct an emergency caesarean operation that lasted over three hours but were utterly shocked when the delivery ended with three live babies all conjoined, breathing, and moving but tightly fused to each other across vital organs.

Medical staff admitted the case was the first of its kind at the facility and described the situation as critical because the babies shared portions of the liver, diaphragm and intestinal system, making separation almost impossible with local equipment or expertise.

Relatives who had gathered at the hospital were inconsolable and fell into despair after learning the newborns could not be airlifted quickly for surgery abroad due to cost and the complexity of the medical condition that had caught even senior specialists unprepared. to read more click here
