A meeting of the NMA on Tuesday decided to meet Speaker Gharti on Thursday and urge her to take action against those lawmakers who made insensitive remarks on the matter without understanding the complexities of medical science.
Manmohan was dragged into controversy after doctors had to remove one of the kidneys of a patient after excessive bleeding during a surgery. The patient’s kin have accused the hospital of removing the kidney without consulting them and was ill-intent.
The NMA, however, said the concerned surgeon rightly carried out the procedure to save the patient’s life.
