Surgeon at cash-for-kidneys hospital implicated in organ trafficking scandal.

Recent reports have shed light on alleged illegal organ transplant surgeries conducted by Dr. Rajakumari, a senior transplant consultant at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals in New Delhi. Despite government rejection, these transplants were reportedly carried out at other hospitals. This situation mirrors a previous scam revealed by The Telegraph involving the falsification of identity documents to facilitate illegal transplants at Indraprastha hospital. Apollo Hospitals has denied any complicity in illegal activities, emphasizing their commitment to stringent policies to uphold ethical and legal standards in organ transplant procedures.

In response to the allegations, Apollo maintained the integrity of their processes, stating that investigations found no irregularities at their facility. The Delhi government has initiated an inquiry into the separate Myanmar case, where Dr. Rajakumari is also implicated. While the doctor had privileges in multiple hospitals, Apollo asserts that no illegal surgeries took place within their institution. They remain steadfast in their belief that their policies are robust and compliance is prioritized in all medical procedures.
