An Egyptian court has issued a decision to close a hospital that trades human organs and imprisoned its owner to sentences of six and ten years. The Cairo Criminal Court sentenced a doctor at Al-Ganzouri Hospital between six and ten years. A doctor and three others were sentenced to ten years in prison, and another female accused in the case was sentenced to six years in prison. The transplants were carried out without following the medical rules and principles licensed to carry out human organ transplants, and in violation of the provisions of the law in this regard. The referral order clarified that all of the defendants agreed with the victims to sell their kidney, taking advantage of their need to money.
