She lauded the move by the hospital and appealed to the hundreds of women who were there seeking attention to feel free as they went on the process.
Ahadi Kenya CEO Stanley Kamau, a participant in the initiative, stated that those seeking consultations and examinations would be provided for free until they finally delivered.
