Kanpur, April 2: Parul and donor Ayush, the patients involved in the illegal kidney transplant case in Kanpur, were referred to the Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS) in Lucknow on Thursday for better and specialized treatment.
The Kanpur Medical College administration made this decision due to the lack of resources and the seriousness and sensitivity of the case.
Monitoring by a specialist team was considered necessary, which is why they were sent to an institution with advanced medical facilities.
Dr Sanjay Kala, Principal of Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical College, stated that Parul’s kidneys have gradually started functioning. However, due to the lack of adequate resources for kidney transplant patients, a letter was written to Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr Haridutt Nemi late Wednesday night, requesting the referral of kidney donor Ayush Chaudhary and patient Parul to Lucknow. After receiving approval from the authorities, he was sent to Lucknow by ambulance today with a team of two doctors. They will be treated in the Nephrology Department at Lohia Hospital.
It is worth noting that six people have been arrested in the kidney transplant racket so far. Currently, Dr Vaibhav, Dr Afzal, Dr Rohit, and Dr Anurag are absconding, and police teams have already left for Meerut to search for them. Dr. Afzal is the operator of Alpha Hospital in Meerut, while Dr. Vaibhav and Anurag alias Amit also live in Meerut.
In a major action, the Health Department on Thursday revoked the licenses of Ahuja Hospital and Priya Hospital. These hospitals must remove all their equipment within three days. Med Life Hospital was previously sealed. Sources indicate that several hospitals and doctors are currently on the police radar.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, West, SM Qasim Abidi, stated that a lookout notice has been issued against the absconding accused, preventing them from fleeing the country.
