Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) troops under the East African Community Regional Force (EACRF) on Saturday, 5th August 2023 while on patrol in Kibumba, in Nyiragongo Territory, North Kivu Province were called to attend to a woman in labour pains.

With hospital facilities remaining closed in the area, the KDF medical team conducted a successful delivery and stabilised the mother and baby before transferring them to Kinyaruchinya Health Centre in Goma for further management.

The joint cooperation between the Democratic Republic of Congo Government, EACRF and other stakeholders to bring peace in North Kivu will enable the reopening of social and public amenities such as hospitals and schools among others.
