Investigative Committee Recommends Arrest of Former MP in Organ Trafficking Probe

The Independent Investigative Committee was established to investigate allegations of tissue organ and organ transplants at Mediheal Hospital, involving the hospital founder, Swarup Mishra.

In a report submitted on Tuesday, July 22, the 13-member task force called for immediate investigation and subsequent criminal charge against Mishra for involvement in organ trafficking.

The report, compiled by the committee after three months of investigations, covered 452 donors and 447 recipients across multiple institutions.

The reports indicated that between 2018 and early 2025, Mediheal hospital handled 417 donors and 340 recipients, with male patients making up three out of every four patients.

The report further revealed that 44 per cent of the recipients were Kenyans, while 16.8 per cent were non-Kenyans and 38 per cent with unidentified nationalities.

Additionally, investigations revealed that a single surgeon and a single anaesthesiologist operated on up to 24 patients within 14 days, prompting questions about accountability for patients’ safety.
