Swarup Mishra and kidney transplant in Kenya

Swarup Mishra and kidney transplant Dr. Swarup Mishra, founder and owner of Mediheal Group of Hospitals, is currently under serious investigation and criminal probe regarding allegations of involvement in an illegal kidney transplant and organ trafficking scandal. A government taskforce has recommended criminal charges against him over massive irregularities and suspected international organ harvesting linked to the kidney transplant operations at his hospital in Eldoret, Kenya. The investigation uncovered questionable documentation, suspicious patient data, and indications that the hospital operated as a transplant tourism destination, charging premium prices. President William Ruto suspended Dr. Mishra as Chair of the Kenya Biovax Institute in April 2025, following these allegations, and the Health Cabinet Secretary halted all transplant procedures at Mediheal Hospital pending audit and investigation. The report implicated other senior doctors at Mediheal as well and recommended the establishment of stronger regulatory mechanisms for transplant services nationally. However, Dr. Mishra has publicly denied any involvement in organ trafficking and insists that no Kenyan kidneys have been exported, asserting that all foreign transplant patients came with legitimate documentation. He maintains that all transplant surgeries at Mediheal Hospital followed the law and were authorized procedures. In summary, Swarup Mishra is at the center of a kidney transplant-related organ trafficking investigation with criminal charges proposed based on a government taskforce report, while he denies the allegations and defends the legitimacy of the transplant operations at his hospital. Swarup Mishra and President William Ruto have had a complex relationship with elements of both support and political tension. Mishra has publicly expressed strong support for Ruto's vision for Kenya, praising his leadership and pledging commitment to serve his agenda. Mishra even urged voters to support Ruto for president and himself for MP on an independent ticket, emphasizing no personal grudge against Ruto despite political differences and campaigning independently. However, President Ruto suspended Swarup Mishra from his role as chair of the Kenya BioVax Institute in April 2025 amid investigations into organ trafficking allegations linked to Mishra’s Mediheal Hospital, and later officially fired him in July 2025. Despite this, Mishra has apologized to Ruto for opposing him in previous elections, showing they maintain some level of political rapport. In summary, while Swarup Mishra has been a political supporter and expressed friendship toward William Ruto, the relationship has also seen significant strain due to legal and political conflicts, including Mishra’s suspension and dismissal from a government appointment by Ruto. @https://www.kbc.co.ke/mishra-i-strongly-support-president-rutos-vision-for-kenya/ @https://nation.africa/kenya/news/politics/swarup-mishra-vote-for-ruto-as-president-and-myself-as-your-mp-3832076 @https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/national/article/2001516837/swarup-mishra-suspended-as-kenya-biovax-chair @https://eastleighvoice.co.ke/charles+githinji-kenya+biovax+institute+limited-president+william+ruto/174292/president-ruto-fires-mediheal-hospital-founder-swarup-mishra-as-kenya-biovax-chair-appoints-charles-githinji-as-successor @https://thekenyatimes.com/latest-kenya-times-news/ruto-fires-mediheal-founder-swarup-mishra-as-kenya-biovax-institute-chair/ @https://www.citizen.digital/news/ruto-fires-ex-mp-swarup-mishra-appoints-githinji-as-new-kenya-biovax-institute-boss-n365797 @https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/business/politics/article/2001482041/im-sorry-mishra-now-tells-ruto-for-going-against-him-in-last-years-polls @https://www.citizen.digital/news/govt-taskforce-proposes-criminal-charges-against-swarup-mishra-over-mediheal-kidney-transplant-saga-n366772 @https://x.com/RadioCitizenFM/status/1950117065873928244 @https://x.com/Hot_96Kenya/status/1950111417098547574 @https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2025-07-29-ex-mp-mishra-denies-mediheal-exported-kenyan-kidneys @https://nation.africa/kenya/news/how-ex-mp-mishra-made-millions-in-organs-trade--5130936 @https://www.instagram.com/p/DMe6K6KNfCm/
