NMC stays debarment of cardiologist jailed in Khyati Hospital Scam
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has stayed the Gujarat Medical Council's (GMC) order debarring the registration of the cardiologist currently in jail for being the key accused in the Khyati Hospital scam case. The doctor was accused of performing botched angioplasty procedures on seven patients, of which two patients succumbed to post-operative complications.
As per the Times of India report, the apex regulatory body issued an order on April 10 putting a hold on the medical council's decision move to debar Dr Prashant Vazirani from medical practice for three years. The NMC referred to a previous 2022 judgment by the Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court in a similar case, saying that immediate action could cause “irreparable harm” to the doctor before his appeal is fully heard.
