The Senate Standing Committee on Health, chaired by Sen. Jackson Mandago (Uasin Gishu), today held a meeting with the Kenya Obstetrical and Gynaecological Society (KOGS), led by Dr. KirekiOmanwa, to deliberate on the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 61 of 2022), sponsored by Hon. Millie Odhiambo.

The proposed legislation seeks to establish a comprehensive legal framework for the provision of assisted reproductive technology services in Kenya. It aims to regulate surrogacy arrangements, prohibit unethical practices, safeguard the rights and welfare of parents, surrogate mothers, donors, and children born through assisted reproductive technologies, and create an institutional framework for the licensing, regulation, and oversight of assisted reproductive technology facilities.

This engagement forms part of the Committeeโ€™s broader mandate to review legislative proposals affecting healthcare delivery and ensure that emerging medical practices are governed by clear, ethical, and effective legal standards.
