The Proprietor of Mediheal Hospitals, Swarup Mishra has now insisted that he has been operating within the law even as he dismissed claims of commercialising organ transplant in his facility.
Mishra yesterday said that since Mediheal's establishment, 476 cases of organ transplant have been conducted at the facility and all patients, including those from other countries, come with their donors because it does not have the capacity to provide for patients.
The former MP's remarks were backed by his lawyers, Katwa Kigen and Peter Moritet, who accused the National Assembly Committee on Health of bias while investigating the matter. "We have not been supplied with the main report and we are responding to media reports but we have written to the CS Health to supply an elaborate report.
The committee did not go out of the way to get input of the patients yet they supplied all materials asked for," said Kigen.
