Wellington Clinics denies involvement in alleged kidney transplant deal
The hospital said the transplant was conducted by an independent specialist medical team led by Dr Benjamin Friday Oyimeh, Senior Consultant Nephrologist and Chief Executive Officer of Crown Medical and Kidney Centre, which it said retained responsibility for the recruitment, evaluation and screening of the donor and recipient.
It explained that, under its collaboration model with specialist medical teams, the lead consultant is responsible for patient recruitment, clinical assessment, donor-recipient compatibility, informed consent, ethical screening and other clinical and medico-legal requirements.
The management said it relied on the documents and declarations presented by the donor and the specialist medical team, noting that it had no independent means or legal duty to conduct forensic investigations into the relationship between a donor and recipient.
