Kimberley Sampson and Samantha Mucahy died of infections after receiving Caesarean sections.
The relatives of two women who died with herpes after giving birth are bringing clinical negligence claims against an NHS trust at the High Court.They both had Caesarean sections performed by the same surgeon at hospitals run by East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust.
They also claim that the surgeon, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was the source of the two women's infection with the herpes simplex virus. Ms Sampson was operated on at the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate, and Ms Mulcahy at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford. The coroner in the Mid Kent and Medway Coroners investigation also said Ms Sampson and Ms Mulcahy could have been treated sooner when their conditions deteriorated.
