Hospital challenges suspension of licence
‘Writ petitions posted for final disposal’
M.R. Hospital, Aminjikarai, is contesting the suspension of its kidney transplantation licence by the Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services in 2014, in the Madras High Court.
The hospital’s two writ petitions seeking quashing of the suspension order and directing the State Appropriate Authority to process the renewal application for a period of five years have been posted for final disposal, the hospital authority said in a statement issued.
The Directorate of Medical Services suspended the kidney transplant licence of the hospital in 2014 after six persons were arrested for trying to sell kidneys to two patients admitted to the hospital.
However, the hospital’s managing director M. R. Murlikrishnan, in the statement said, “the criminal case is only against the donor and brokers and not the hospital”.
