Unlawful kidney trading under examination: 476 surgical procedures under investigation amidst Mediheal's penalties
In a shocking turn of events, the committee has launched an investigation into suspected fraud and potential criminal activities in kidney transplants at the Mediheal hospitals. The probe comes amidst allegations that four doctors – Dr Swarup Mishra, Dr A.S. Murthy, Dr Sananda Bag, and Dr Vijay Kumar – have violated national transplant laws and ethical standards.
Dr Swarup Mishra, the owner of Mediheal, is at the heart of the investigation, with suspicions of potential criminal involvement in organ trafficking. The nephrologist, Dr A.S. Murthy, the urologist and transplant surgeon, Dr Sananda Bag, and the anaesthesiologist, Dr Vijay Kumar, are also under the spotlight for their roles in these alleged activities.
The investigation has uncovered a series of questionable practices, including suspected involvement in organ trafficking, fraudulent kidney surgeries, cash payment practices contrary to international ethical standards, and possibly recruiting donors under unethical or illegal conditions.
Many donors were found to have been paid illegally, some of whom were foreign nationals, notably young men from Azerbaijan. Forged documents and misrepresented relationships were also discovered, facilitating these transplants. These practices have raised serious concerns about commercialization and unethical conduct in transplant services.
Elsewhere, the Talanta Stadium land saga continues, while managing wounds is being discussed as more than just a bandage job. The committee is also investigating organ trafficking allegations at the Mediheal hospitals, and Kaluma made comments regarding the ODM-UDA deal.
