Death
When Kauda went into labor, she sought medical attention at a private hospital. However, the hospital's only doctor was not available to see her, and she was forced to go to a different hospital, also under-staffed.[6] She died at Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kawempe on Saturday 1 July 2017 at 2:00 o'clock.[7] Her death is said to have been caused by a condition called pre-eclampsia caused by pregnancy complications,[2] and would have been preventable if she had access to better healthcare.[6] She was laid to rest in Magogo village, Nawaningi sub-county in Iganga district.[4][8]
