Judith began to experience severe bleeding while in labour. The doctors worked hard to help her, but her condition worsened.
The former Bank of Baroda employee Judith Nanteza who died shortly after delivering a bouncing baby, was on Saturday buried at Kirowooza in Mukono Municipality. She died from excessive bleeding according to a medical report.
She wedded Costa Ssekirime barely ten months ago, and she leaves two children including the baby she had just delivered when she died.
During a requiem service at Watoto Church Bweyogerere preceding her burial, the situation was somber, with friends and fellow believers reminiscing Judith’s kindness and humility during her lifetime.

According to the bereaved husband Ssekirime, his wife left home for the hospital where she has been getting pre-natal services where she delivered normally but bled profusely after delivery.
She was taken to the theatre to extract the foetus but died before completion of the exercise. The baby is still in the neo-natal intensive care unit (NICU).
Ssekirime described Judith as a caring and devoted wife whose love was pure and unconditional.
He said that Judith had been attending Bethany Hospital for regular checkups throughout her pregnancy. Doctors had advised her to take rest and avoid heavy work. When her time to give birth came, the couple returned to the same hospital, hoping for a safe delivery. Sadly, things took a tragic turn.

Judith began to experience severe bleeding while in labour. The doctors worked hard to help her, but her condition worsened. In the midst of unbearable pain, she managed to deliver her baby. Unfortunately, she could not make it through the bleeding that followed.
As Ssekirime shared this heartbreaking story at Watoto Church, his voice broke several times. Members of the congregation comforted him, praying for strength and for the soul of the departed Judith. Many wept openly, moved by the young couple’s story of love and sudden loss.
Though Judith’s life ended too soon, those who knew her remember her as a woman of faith, kindness, and strength. Her death has left a painful gap, but her memory continues to inspire others to cherish their loved ones and trust in God even in the darkest times.
