Friday, April 25, 2025 - Mediheal Hospital Founder, Swarup Mishra, has defended his hospital’s operations, after it was linked to controversial kidney transplant practices and organ trafficking.
Mishra maintained that the facility has no regrets for
performing kidney transplants or offering services to international patients in
Kenya.
He claimed that the accusations are driven by jealousy
from developed nations who were, in his view, uncomfortable with a Kenyan
hospital advancing in specialised procedures like organ transplants.
“Many countries that have benefited economically from kidney
transplant procedures were displeased when Mediheal began offering these
services. They used various tactics to tarnish our reputation,” he said.
The former MP said he was ready to face legal and public
scrutiny surrounding the matter, reiterating his unwavering support for the
institution’s practices.
He remains confident that ongoing investigations will
exonerate Mediheal and assured the public that the hospital was fully
cooperating with government health agencies, regulators, and investigators
probing the transplant operations.
Mishra further said 476 kidney transplants had been carried
out at the facility, with 62 patients coming from Israel.
However, the majority, 372, were Kenyans.
Mishra added that only 10 patients had died due to
transplant-related complications, citing this as one of the lowest mortality
rates globally.
