A Kenyan High Court has ordered a city hospital and two IVF institutions to release all records relating to their services for one year, following a complaint from an American couple whose surrogate delivered a child not genetically related to them.

• The High Court directed the institutions to preserve all records from April 2024 to January 19, 2025, the date the child was born.
• The couple, identified as AAD and ANA, sued the institutions and the surrogate mother, GPO, for allegedly breaching a fundamental term of gestational surrogacy.
• DNA tests revealed that the child had no genetic relationship to either AAD or ANA, causing them “unspeakable shock, grief, and distress.”
