Ministry of Health has warned members of the public against engaging in organ trade saying it's illegal.
According to Dr Frank Asiimwe, a consultant urologist and transplant surgeon; any donation should be purposely to save a life.
Dr Asiimwe says commercialization of organ transplants could see an illegal harvest of organs from the public leading to loss of lives.
The recently enacted Uganda human organ donation and Transplant Act of 2023 stipulates a punishment of detention of up to twelve years or a fine of 2 billion Uganda shillings once found guilty.
