Father of a girl alleged #AIIMS #doctor removed #kidneys of her daughterNew Delhi: Father of a six-year-old girl had alleged that doctors of All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) had removed both the kidneys of his daughter during surgery. HE had approached to the Hauz Khas police for complaint. A high-powered committee of senior professor had been constituted by the AIIMS to probe into allegation.

A senior doctor of AIIMS said, “The allegations made by the patient’s father are of serious nature. A High-Powered Committee of senior professors has been constituted to probe the matter and clear the issues. The Committee already held a meeting on May 20 and will be again meeting this week and then submit a report to AIIMS administration.”

Pavan Kumar, a native of Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh, had come to AIIMS last year seeking treatment of his daughter who had developed complications in her left kidney. According to the first test report of AIIMS dated December 8 last year, the right kidney was in good condition.

The report stated: “There is a large photopenia noted left renal fossa which does not show any tracer accumulation in early as well as delayed static images while the right kidney appears normal in size, shape and function.”

A senior surgeon of the paediatrics department handling the case told the family that the kidney has to be removed. On March 14, the doctor performed the surgery during which one of the patient’s kidney was removed, alleged Kumar.

However, after a couple of days, the patient complained of severe pain. A CT scan was done and in the test report no kidney was visible, alleged the father.

Pavan said, “I then asked the doctor who, however, did not answer my queries properly. I tried speaking to the AIIMS administration failing which I approached the Hauz Khas police.”

The patient is on dialysis since March 14.
