Managemant Of Abuja Hospital Accused Of Harvesting 17-year-old Boy’s Kidney Speaks

 

A popular Abuja health centre, Alliance Hospital accused of harvesting the kidney of a 17-year-old boy has shared its own side of the story.

 

Recall that the elder brother of the teenage boy had accused the hospital of alleged organ harvesting.

 

An official of the health centre who identified herself as Nafisat spoke to Punch on the telephone, on Friday, saying, “The accusation is false”.

“The claim is not true. We don’t know where it is emanating from,” she added.

 

The hospital was reacting to our correspondent’s enquiry on the allegation by a yet-to-be-identified man in a viral video that the hospital allegedly harvested the organ of his younger brother.

 

The young man who was seen in the viral video, ranting in pidgin English outside the hospital building, claimed his younger brother is a minor that cannot consent to an organ donation.

 

According to him, “This hospital does not have any right to remove a 17-year-old kidney and sell it.

 

 

The man queried where (country) it is done the way the hospital had allegedly done.

 

Showing his brother’s scar which appeared fresh and bandaged, the man asked if his brother had even reached 17 years old with his look.
