The independent investigative committee established to probe allegations of tissue and organ transplants at Mediheal Hospital has recommended criminal charges against the hospital's founder, Swarup Mishra.
In a report submitted by the committee to Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale on Tuesday, July 22, the 13-member task force called for immediate investigations and subsequent criminal charges against Mishra for alleged involvement in organ trafficking.
The committee, in its report, linked Mishra to massive irregularities, claiming that he was part of an international organ trafficking syndicate operating within Mediheal Hospital.
The report, compiled by the committee after three months of investigations, covered data obtained from 452 donors and 447 recipients across multiple institutions.
