Health CS Duale launches probe into organ transplant practices

In a decisive move aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability within Kenya’s health sector, Health Cabinet Secretary (CS) Aden Duale has commissioned a specialized team to investigate the country’s organ transplant practices. The development comes amid increasing concerns over ethical breaches, lack of oversight, and the potential exploitation of vulnerable patients in need of life-saving procedures.

CS Duale emphasized that while organ transplantation is a critical component of modern medicine, it must be conducted within strict ethical and legal frameworks. He noted that Kenya has made significant progress in expanding access to transplants, but there is a growing need to ensure that all practices meet global standards. The investigation team, made up of medical experts, legal professionals, and representatives from regulatory bodies, has been tasked with reviewing current transplant protocols, licensing procedures, and the conduct of healthcare providers involved in such operations.

According to the Ministry of Health, the goal is not only to identify irregularities but also to recommend policy reforms that will safeguard both donors and recipients. Concerns have been raised in recent months about the increasing number of unregulated referrals to foreign hospitals, disparities in access to transplant services, and the lack of a comprehensive national donor registry.

Stakeholders in the health sector, including civil society and professional medical associations, have welcomed the move, citing the importance of restoring public trust in the healthcare system. Some experts have called for the urgent digitization of transplant records and the establishment of a transparent, ethical review board to oversee high-risk procedures.

CS Duale reiterated his commitment to patient safety, ethical medical practice, and building a healthcare system where life-saving procedures are accessible, affordable, and carried out with the highest integrity.

As the health ministry embarks on this crucial exercise, Kenyans await reforms that will protect lives while promoting a culture of medical accountability.
