Mediheal Group of Hospitals founder, Dr. Swarup Mishra, has strongly dismissed allegations linking the health facility to organ trafficking. Breaking his silence, Mishra termed the claims as baseless and pledged to clear the hospitals name through a second public audit. The hospitals legal team also reiterated its innocence, emphasizing that Mediheal only provides legitimate medical services and does not engage in any criminal syndicates.

Addressing media concerns, the hospital revealed it has conducted 476 kidney transplants over the past seven years, including 105 foreign patients. Mediheals lawyer, Katwa Kigen, insisted that all donor processes followed legal protocols, with clear consent and full understanding from all parties. He added that donors retained the freedom to withdraw at any point before the procedure.

Responding to concerns over transplant compatibility, Mishra highlighted the use of advanced genetic mapping technology to ensure zero rejection cases. “We did level four—cross-matching, HLA matching, and gene-to-gene mapping,” he stated. Kigen supported the claim, saying no complications had been reported from any donors or recipients so far.

Meanwhile, Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has appointed a 13-member independent committee chaired by Prof. Elizabeth Bukusi to investigate the matter. The committee, made up of medical experts and scholars, is expected to deliver a report within three months as the government intensifies efforts to uncover the truth behind the growing scandal.
