Authorities have launched an investigation after registering a case against an alleged “fake” cardiologist at a missionary hospital in Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh district, following the deaths of seven patients reportedly treated by him. The accused, identified as Dr. Narendra John Camm, is said to have performed procedures such as angiography and angioplasty without being registered with the Madhya Pradesh Medical Council.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has stepped in to investigate the matter and will remain in Damoh until Wednesday. Officials stated that a First Information Report (FIR) was filed on Sunday midnight based on a complaint by the Damoh district’s Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO), MK Jain.
Initial findings suggest that Camm’s medical registration number is missing from his documents, raising suspicions. The Mission Hospital management reported that the accused had already left the facility. While the hospital provided documents concerning his medical degree, the investigation team failed to locate a valid registration number with any recognized medical council.
The documents submitted indicated registration with the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council, but Camm’s name did not appear on the council’s official website, further fueling doubts. The FIR lists multiple charges under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including dishonest misappropriation, forgery, and criminal liability.
The investigation continues as officials seek clarity and accountability in this serious matter. Let me know if you’d like to explore any specific aspect of the case further!
