Fake’ Doctor, 15 Surgeries: Madhya Pradesh Hospital Deaths Spark Probe

Damoh, Madhya Pradesh:

A man performed 15 heart surgeries at a reputed hospital in Madhya Pradesh within a span of two months. However, according to a complaint, he was not a cardiologist but just posed as one. The complaint stemmed from deaths at the Mission hospital in Damoh district between December 2024 and February 2025.

The accused, who is identified as Narendra Yadav, claimed to be a London-based cardiologist N John Camm. He has been missing since a complaint was filed against him that claimed patients died due to his wrong treatment.

As per the complaint lodged in February with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), the man misused the name of John Camm – a renowned UK-based cardiologist – to mislead patients.

Meanwhile, the Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) Dr Mukesh Jain and District Health Officer (DHO) Dr Vikram Chauhan have confirmed two deaths so far due to the alleged negligence.
