Four more patients get kidney transplant at Mulago hospital.
Mulago National Referral Hospital’s medical experts have collaborated with doctors from Kidney Care in the United Kingdom to perform four additional kidney transplants in Uganda. The new surgeries bring the total number of patients who have benefited from the free transplants at Mulago to nine, since the maiden transplant was done in December 2023.
“I’m excited to say that Mulago has now made it a habit to transplant,” said Prof Frank Asiimwe, the transplant surgeon at the facility. “The first time something happens, one could say maybe it was an accident; maybe it was a fluke; that was December 2023.”
