Union Health Minister JP Nadda today said his ministry is holding deliberations on an expert panel's report on "faulty" hip replacements surgeries by a multinational company in India.
We are deliberating on it, he told reporters here, with elaborating.
His comments came after reports appeared in the media, claiming pharma giant Johnson and Johnson "suppressed" facts on the harm caused by surgeries which were conducted on patients in India using "faulty" hip replacement systems.
According to reports, the expert committee, set up to investigate complaints about hip implant devices, has suggested that the company pay compensation of around Rs 20 lakh to the affected patients.
