Health Minister Veena George has dismissed the demands from the medical fraternity that an expert committee be set up to inquire into all aspects of the deceased donor renal transplant done at the Thiruvananthapuram Government Medical College Hospital on Sunday.
The Kerala Government Medical College Teachers’ Association, unhappy over the manner in which the government had suspended two senior doctors ahead of a comprehensive inquiry, had demanded that an expert committee, including doctors, be set up to ascertain if any lapses had happened in the procedures or conduct of the transplant surgery and if these could have contributed to the death of the patient.
