15 Gujarat doctors accused of diverting Rs 1.87 crore from clinical trials to personal accounts
Around 15 doctors of VS General Hospital have been accused of transferring nearly Rs 1.87 crore meant for the hospital directly to their personal accounts from 2021, as revealed in a report prepared by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's five-member probe panel, which found financial irregularities in about 65 human clinical trials conducted at the hospital.
The hospital, run by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), has been the site for 65 human clinical trials since 2021. A five-member probe panel set up by AMC has now submitted its final report, confirming large-scale irregularities and misuse of funds received from pharmaceutical companies and research firms.
Among the accused doctors, a former Medical Superintendent, an Associate Professor and another doctor have been handed chargesheets. Their case will be heard by an AMC-designated officer in the next three to four months, who will advise the civic body on further action.
