Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) has announced plans to begin performing kidney transplants later this year to address the growing demand for renal care in the Lake Region.
The move comes amidst concerns over the rising number of patients on dialysis and kidney care exerting pressure on health facilities in the area.
JOOTRH Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr.
Richard Lesiyampe said with the elevation of the facility to a level 6A National Referral Hospital, plans were underway to expand the renal unit and roll out kidney transplants to give a lease of life to kidney patients.
