The National Assembly has invited the public to submit memoranda and evidence of the alleged kidney trafficking at the Mediheal Hospital in Eldoret.
The Health Committee Tuesday announced that the memoranda should be sent to the clerk by May 9. "The committee has noted with concern the public outcry and issues raised with respect to kidney transplant procedures at Mediheal Group of Hospitals, a prominent private healthcare provider that offers specialised services, including organ transplants.
The issues raised include allegations of malpractice and ethical breaches in the provision of kidney transplant services, therefore the Committee has resolved to conduct a public inquiry into the concerns and to make recommendations to the House," says the notice.
The investigation seeks to assess the legality and ethical integrity of kidney and other transplant procedures at the hospital, examine the role of foreign nationals and potential transplant tourism, and evaluate the oversight and regulatory mechanisms available.
