Jemesetta Kugmeh who raised concerns about her mistreatment at ELWA pass away. These are her words on how she was treated by the ELWA hospital
Post 1: The Beginning of My Pain
I walked into ELWA Hospital on February 24 healthy, strong, and full of hope — just going for a routine ANC check-up. They said I was overdue and insisted on induction. I begged them to wait — I told them my first child came late too. But they held me there. That was the day everything started to go wrong.
I need answers.

Post 2: What Happened to Me?
By February 25, I was in unbearable pain. Induction failed. They said my cervix wasn’t dilating and pushed for C/S. My partner refused, but I agreed — thinking C/S was a minor thing. I had no idea I was agreeing to my own suffering.
Now my kidneys don’t work. My womb is gone. My urethra has collapsed. I have burns on my legs and back. I’ve done 8 rounds of dialysis — no urine. No healing. Just pain.
I want to know what ELWA Hospital has done to me.

Post 3: I Was Healthy… Now I’m Dying
I left my house on February 24 strong and ready to meet my baby. Today I am lying in a hospital bed, fighting for breath, for peace, for understanding.
My kidneys are failing. My liver is dying. I don’t understand how a routine visit turned into a death sentence. I don’t understand why no one is telling me what went wrong. I don’t understand how a mother can lose her womb and still not be told why.
If I must die, I want to die with answers.

Post 4: My Last Words (If It Comes to That)
To everyone reading this — if I don’t make it, please ask ELWA Hospital what they did to me. Why did they delay referral when things went wrong? Why was I left in pain for hours? Why is my body failing after a C/S that was supposed to be “minor”?
I left home healthy. Now I’m not sure I’ll ever return.
If this is my end, let the world know: I didn’t deserve to die like this.
