In the statement, the committee should address the following issues- (1) Whether the Ministry of Health has received and reviewed the report by the Kenya Blood Transfusion and Transplant Service (KBTTS) regarding flagged irregularities involving 372 kidney transplants conducted at Mediheal Fertility and Transplant Centre in Eldoret since 2018. (2) Which protocols were used to verify donor-recipient relationships, consent procedures involving foreign recipients and the involvement of foreign doctors and donors with no familial ties to recipients and compliance with transplant eligibility criteria in licensed medical facilities? (3) The role of the Ministry of Health in ensuring that transplant centres have met ethical, clinical and legal requirements and an indication that there is a process available for routine audits, compliance and enforcement actions. (4) What is the licensing status of Mediheal Hospital as a transplant centre and whether any investigations or reviews were done or any are underway to assess the compliance with the national health regulations. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
