{{Uganda’s main Hospital Mulago has announced its doctors will start conducting the first Kidney transplants and other organs in what has been hailed as a major success in the country’s medical sector.}}<\/p>\n
The doctors have described this as a major breakthrough in the provision of super-specialized health care in Uganda.<\/p>\n
The hospital director, Dr. Baterana Byarugaba said by October, the hospital will carry out its first kidney transplant, beginning with the 65 patients undergoing dialysis. <\/p>\n
The surgeries, according to the director, will be free to all patients once the hospital is fully facilitated by the government.<\/p>\n
In addition, the hospital will be in position to carry out transplants of other organs like the heart and lungs. <\/p>\n
Dr. Byarugaba made the disclosure at a press briefing at the hospital after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with a team of medical specialists and other administrators from Yashoda Hospital, an Indian centre for excellence in kidney and other transplants.<\/p>\n
