(Video) How Mediheal Hospital’s Played Role in International Kidney Trade

An investigation into organ trafficking has revealed a network based in Eldoret, Kenya, where kidneys are being sold for as little as €4,000 to donors, while international buyers pay up to €200,000.

Mediheal Hospital in Eldoret is implicated in facilitating these transactions, reportedly involving recipients primarily from Germany and Israel.

There are allegations of high-level protection for this illegal trade, which exploits the economic vulnerability of Kenyans and raises ethical concerns about organ commerce.

DW just published an investigative piece uncovering a global organ trafficking organization that majorly focuses on kidneys from Eldoret, Kenya.

Patients pay up to €200,000 for a kidney, while sellers get about €4,000. They allege that the highly organized crime is protected by the highest office in the land.

Just 3 months ago, Mariana Van Zeller, NatGeo, did an investigative piece on illegal baby trafficking in Nairobi, where young Kenyan ladies take IVF surrogate babies and sell them for under $5k.

This is a 9-month process. The exposé claimed that there are over a dozen doctors in Nairobi delivering up to 5 babies a month for sale.

Just 2 days ago, Citizen TV aired another exposé of Kenyans trafficked to Myanmar through Thailand into slavery. 304 Kenyans were rescued, and there are still many more trapped there.

This extends to Cambodia too. Recruitment agencies dupe young unemployed Kenyans into thinking they are getting them jobs abroad only to deliver them to trafficking rings.
