Senate clears Mediheal hospitals, finds no evidence of organ harvesting allegations

A parliamentary inquiry into alleged organ trafficking at Mediheal Hospital has cleared the facility of any wrongdoing, but raised serious concerns about gaps in Kenya’s transplant regulatory system. A report tabled before the Senate Health Committee finds no evidence to back claims of organ harvesting at the hospital. However, lawmakers have sounded the alarm over weak oversight and the lack of operational transplant laws. They are now calling for urgent and far-reaching legal reforms to safeguard the integrity of organ transplant services in the country.
