Kim Sampson and Samantha Mulcahy died after giving birth in two East Kent NHS Trust hospitals.
A coroner has criticised a hospital trust for the deaths of two new mothers from the herpes virus in 2018.
Kim Sampson, 29, and Samantha Mulcahy, 32, died six weeks apart after having Caesarean sections in hospitals run by East Kent Hospitals Trust. A coroner found that on the balance of probabilities, a surgeon who had operated on both women was unlikely to have been the source of the infection.The same obstetrician carried out their Caesareans seven weeks apart, the inquest has heard.
Ms Sampson's baby boy was delivered at the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital in Margate in May 2018. In July of that year, first-time mother Mrs Mulcahy died from an infection caused by the same virus at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford.
