In a groundbreaking medical milestone, doctors in Kumasi have successfully conducted the first-ever kidney transplant in the Ashanti Region.

This historic procedure took place at HopeXchange Medical Centre, located in Santasi, Kumasi, in collaboration with the Kidney Specialist Center, and marks a significant achievement in Ghana's healthcare history.

The transplant was performed on a man in his mid-forties who had been struggling with kidney disease for five years.

After undergoing dialysis for a year, the patient decided to pursue a kidney transplant following consultations with medical experts at the center.
