The management of the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) has announced the successful completion of four additional kidney transplant procedures, bringing the total number of kidney transplants performed at the facility to 15.

According to the Centre, the latest milestone highlights its growing capacity to provide specialised renal care and advanced transplant services in Ghana.

UGMC said that since conducting its first kidney transplant in June 2024, it has successfully carried out 15 kidney transplant procedures, offering renewed hope to patients living with end-stage kidney disease.

The Centre described the achievement as a major step towards strengthening Ghana’s healthcare system and reducing the need for patients to travel abroad to access transplant services.

Management commended the dedication and professionalism of its multidisciplinary medical team, whose efforts have contributed to the success of the programme.

UGMC further reaffirmed its commitment to expanding access to quality transplant services, enhancing specialised healthcare delivery, and improving patient outcomes across the country.

The latest successful procedures further position UGMC as one of Ghana’s leading centres for organ transplantation and specialised medical care.
