Celebrate kidney donors, doctors, not victimise them — Surgeon

Consultant Plastic Surgeon Dr Torngee Malu has urged for the celebration of kidney donors and doctors involved in transplant procedures, rather than victimising them. Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Brief, Malu criticized the arrest and parade of two doctors and others suspected of being part of an organ-harvesting syndicate in Nasarawa State.

He emphasised the need to encourage voluntary donations and a properly regulated system, instead of allowing social media allegations to shape public perception of medical procedures. Malu highlighted that organ donation should be promoted in a well-regulated environment, given that 50 people die from kidney disease daily in Nigeria.
