A shocking incident has come to light in the Damoh district of Madhya Pradesh, shaking the healthcare system. A fake doctor had been working at a missionary hospital, claiming to be a British cardiologist, and was performing heart surgeries without any qualifications. It has been confirmed that 7 patients have died so far due to his surgeries. The incident has caused a stir among the district administration, the Human Rights Commission, and the health department.
The accused, Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav, had presented himself as Dr. N. John Khem, a renowned cardiologist from London. His appointment at the hospital was based on forged documents. According to sources, the accused had performed more than 15 heart surgeries, of which 7 patients have died.
According to Deepak Tiwari, the president of the Damoh Child Welfare Committee, the actual number of deaths could be higher. He stated that some families, when they noticed the deteriorating condition of the patients after surgery, took them to Jabalpur, where the fraud was uncovered.
Given the seriousness of the incident, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken suo-motu cognizance and started an investigation. Commission member Priyank Kanungo stated that the hospital was receiving government support under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, and such negligence constitutes a serious crime.
Damoh Collector Sudhir Kochhar mentioned that all hospital documents have been seized, and a detailed investigation is underway. Meanwhile, Superintendent of Police Abhishek Tiwari informed that a statewide search operation has been launched to locate the accused.
It is noteworthy that the accused already has a criminal case registered against him in Hyderabad, further exposing his criminal background.
This incident not only raises questions about the healthcare system in the state but also highlights serious flaws in the process of verifying doctors’ appointments and credentials. The district administration has assured that strict action will be taken against the culprits and that new procedures will be implemented to prevent such incidents in the future.
