A Kenyan actress, Maureen Wanza, popularly known as Sasha, died during childbirth as hospital activities were grounded due to a nationwide strike that has lasted 106 days.

Her baby also died a few minutes after she passed away.

News of her death was announced by a colleague, Kibibi Salim, via her social media accounts.

Kenyan Nation reports that Wanza was rushed to a private hospital after she developed complications.

“It was an emergency. While at the facility, her situation worsened as she gave birth. She bled to death. Unfortunately, her baby also died minutes later,” Ashiners Films CEO, Ann Hamburg, said.

Kenyan doctors and nurses began their strike a few months ago and nurses in Kenya had threatened to take legal action against governors who will replace any of them on strike.
