Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale Friday inaugurated the Independent Investigative Committee on Tissue and Organ Transplant Services.
The committee, chaired by Prof. Elizabeth Bukusi is set up in response to public concern over serious allegations of malpractice and ethical violations in organ transplant procedures at Mediheal Group of Hospitals.
“This is a moment of reckoning. We are not just conducting an investigation—we are restoring public trust in the health system. We will not tolerate impunity or protect any wrongdoing,” said Duale, as he called on the committee to uphold integrity, transparency, discretion, and professionalism.
Medical Services PS Dr. Ouma Oluga urged the committee to carry out its work objectively and submit a report that will help streamline clinical workflows across all health facilities in Kenya.
Reaffirming the ministry’s full support, Duale reminded the committee to deliver a comprehensive report by July 22nd 2025.
“We will act decisively, transparently, and in the best interest of the people of Kenya,” he added.
