Under the scanner for a kidney racket busted by Delhi Police, Indraprastha Apollo hospital here has constituted a three-member inquiry committee to study the existing system for giving approval for transplant of an organ in the hospital.
The hospital has invited former Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court and eminent jurist Justice Mukul Mudgal to head the committee. Others joining him will be forensic expert, N C Sood along with an eminent medical professional.
"The committee will study the existing system for authorisation in the hospital and give its recommendations to ensure that the current approval mechanisms are strengthened.
"In the interest of patient safety, it would also suggest safeguards to ensure that such an incident is not repeated in the future," a statement from the Hospital said.
