Dr Adisa Lugaliki, a dedicated doctor, tragically became the first medical professional to succumb to COVID-19 on July 5, 2020.
She was engaged to Fred Mboss, a 45-year-old man who was deeply in love with her. The couple had planned a wedding ceremony, which was set to take place after a visit to Bungoma for the first introduction ceremony later that month.
According to Fred Mboss, the couple's wedding plans were taking shape, and they were excited to start their new life together. However, fate had other plans.
On July 5, Adisa fell ill, and Mboss rushed her to Aga Khan University Hospital, where she was diagnosed with diabetes and admitted at 10 pm.
As reported by the Star, Mboss was one of the last people to be with Dr Adisa on her deathbed. He shared his appreciation for the family members and friends who supported them during this difficult time.
"We sincerely wish to convey our gratitude to... Family members: siblings Carol and Lenny and Dr Adisa's friend Fred Mboss for the bold step of taking her to hospital on Monday and the chance they had to hear her final conversations like a soldier looking forward to return home from war," the family said in a heartfelt appreciation note.
