The Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre (SLBMC) has completed its 12th kidney transplant, offering renewed hope to a patient and their family.

The hospital, which runs the only transplant programme in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), said it remains committed to delivering specialised healthcare locally.

SLBMC thanked its medical team and visiting transplant surgeon Dr Obi Ekwenna for their contributions to the milestone procedure.

“This is a life-changing moment for the patient and a proud achievement for our healthcare system,” the hospital said in a statement.
