Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has issued a statement clarifying the circumstances surrounding the removal of a transplanted kidney from a patient, following a police report filed by the patient. The incident refers to a woman whose transplanted kidney, donated by her brother, failed under mysterious circumstances.

• KNH stated the transplant recipient was diagnosed with kidney failure in 2022.
• The transplant occurred by February 12, 2025, after which the kidney did not function due to a blood clot, a rare complication.
• The hospital removed the kidney for the patient's health after determining it was not viable, discharging her on March 5 to resume dialysis.
• KNH CEO William Sigilai noted that in the 2024/2027 Financial Year, KNH performed 22 kidney transplants, with 21 successful outcomes.
