Trafficking of Kenyans abroad for the purpose of harvesting their organs and illegal transplants in local hospitals are happening in secrecy.

A report by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) on human trafficking in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Burundi reveals that cases of trafficking for organs are real in the region.

IOM has engaged 1,916 people in the four countries, including 372 from Kenya, who have either been trafficked, are traffickers, or are at high risk of being trafficked.
