Dr Nayana Patel, a globally recognised yet highly controversial fertility specialist, is now practicing medicine in Kenya.
This comes despite her being at the center of multiple malpractice allegations in India, where she has been accused of exploiting poor women through commercial surrogacy. Dr Patel, who has at least six documented malpractice cases in India, is currently operating a fertility clinic in the Parklands area of Nairobi under the name Nulife Advanced Fertility Centre.
While the female anatomy is complex and deeply valued-especially in matters of fertility-there is growing concern over how reproductive medicine is handled by some practitioners.
When a doctor facing malpractice allegations in another country is allowed to practice freely in Kenya, it raises serious concerns about medical regulation, oversight and patient safety.
