A team of dedicated medical experts in Kumasi has successfully performed the first-ever kidney transplant in the Ashanti Region.
This key achievement marks a significant milestone in Ghana’s medical history and offers hope to thousands of patients suffering from kidney failure.
The surgery was carried out at the HopeXchange Medical Centre, located at Santasi, Kumasi under the guidance of the Kidney Specialist Centre.
This remarkable feat brought together professionals from different medical fields, including urology, nephrology, anesthesiology, and perioperative nursing, all working seamlessly to save a life.
The surgery was performed on a young man who had been suffering from end-stage renal failure for years.
His diagnosis of end-stage renal failure came after both kidneys failed.
His condition started with hypertension and deteriorated into a kidney problem and later, renal failure. Fortunately, the surgery was performed on him and it turned out successful.
The achievement has warmed the hearts of many Ghanaians who congratulated the team of medical professionals.
