Private hospitals could be the main enablers of the unlawful organ trafficking that has been making headlines in Kenya, according to the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU).
KMPDU believes that the recent surge in organ trafficking is linked to the hiring policies and unethical practices within private healthcare facilities.
The union has called for an investigation into the licensing and recruitment of foreign medical practitioners, expressing concerns about how private hospitals may be coercing foreign doctors into conducting such unlawful practices.
Additionally, KMPDU urged the government to take action, stating that it tarnishes the country's image to allow foreign doctors to work in Kenya while many qualified Kenyan health professionals remain unemployed.
