The Human Tissue Transplant Bill, 2026 should see ten to 12 kidney transplants a year, more than doubling what occurs now.
Minister of State in the Ministry of Health and Wellness Davidson Ishmael said that the Bill, debated in the House of Assembly yesterday, was important because of the significant jump in life-saving techniques. He held it up as a shining example of the work of a ministry that can actually save lives.
He also revealed that in 20 years, the number of kidney patients had moved from 185 to 300.
