First Kidney Transplants Possible This Year, Burkinabe Minister of Health Says
The inauguration of the National Committee for the Control and Ethics of Donation, Removal, Transplantation, and Grafting of Human Organs, Tissues, and Cells (CNCE/DPTG) in Burkina Faso, as well as the decree implementing the transplantation of human organs, tissues, and cells, took place on Friday at the Health Ministry in Ouagadougou.
Robert Lucien Jean-Claude Kargougou, Minister of Health and Public Hygiene of Burkina Faso, said during the ceremony that Burkina Faso "is moving slowly but surely" towards performing its first kidney transplant in 2024.
"The committee will be responsible for coordinating activities related to organ transplantation in Burkina Faso," Kargougou told the inaugurated members at the ceremony.
This committee must ensure transparency in the selection of donors and recipients. It must also maintain the
register of patients who will be included in the transplant process, he explained.
"We understand both the nobility and the delicacy of our mission. We will approach our duties with dedication, selflessness, and loyalty to fulfill the mission entrusted to us," Professor Harouna Ouedraogo, a retired psychiatrist, thanked the Minister of Health on behalf of the committee for the trust placed in them and for the initiative of the country to establish it.
