Mission Hospital Licence Suspended, Fake Cardiologist Arrested After Seven Patient Deaths Reported

DAMOH, MADHYA PRADESH – April 17, 2025: Authorities have suspended the operating licence of Mission Hospital in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, amidst a shocking scandal involving an alleged fake cardiologist whose unauthorized surgeries are linked to the deaths of seven heart patients. The accused, identified as Narendra Yadav, has been arrested.

The scandal unfolded after complaints were filed with the National Human Rights Commission regarding suspicious deaths at the hospital. Investigations revealed that Yadav had allegedly been masquerading as a UK-based cardiologist, Dr. Narendra John Camm, and possessed a bogus medical degree. He is accused of performing unauthorized cardiac surgeries, which tragically resulted in the deaths of at least seven patients.

Following the probe initiated by the authorities, Yadav was arrested on charges of forgery. Concurrently, the hospital itself faced scrutiny. Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) Mukesh Jain confirmed that Mission Hospital’s licence had lapsed on March 31, 2025. An application for renewal submitted by the hospital administration was subsequently rejected due to significant operational shortcomings identified by health officials.

CMHO Jain stated that the hospital failed to rectify these deficiencies within the stipulated timeframe, leading to the suspension of its licence pending further orders. The hospital premises have been sealed, and the administration has been strictly instructed not to admit any new patients.

Investigations are ongoing to fully uncover the extent of the alleged illegal operations performed by Yadav and the circumstances surrounding the patient deaths. Authorities are also looking into potential document forgery related to Yadav’s credentials and the hospital’s operations. The case has sent shockwaves through the local community and raised serious concerns about patient safety and regulatory oversight in private healthcare facilities.
