Kenya's National Assembly is finalizing the Transplant and Organ Donation Bill to combat organ trafficking. This development comes as Mediheal Hospital faces investigations into alleged organ harvesting and transplantation irregularities, with its owner refuting the claims.

• The Health Committee Chairperson, Seme MP James Nyikal, stated the Bill is under review by the Budget and Appropriations Committee.
• The proposed law aims to create a legal framework for organ donation, allowing individuals to decide organ recipients and increasing organ availability with strict penalties.
• Mediheal Hospital's Chief Consultant Nephrologist, Srinivas Murthy, and owner, former Kesses MP Swarup Mishra, denied wrongdoing during a meeting with MPs, attributing allegations to misinformation.
• Murthy clarified that Kenya only permits live kidney donations from relatives or close acquaintances, unlike countries with deceased donor programs.
