Surgeries he never performed: Indian-origin Houston doctor agrees to pay over $2 million to settle medical fraud allegations
An Indian-origin doctor in Houston agreed to pay $2 million to settle medical fraud allegations against him. Dr Ajay Aggarwal, an Indian-origin pain medicine doctor from Houston, has agreed to pay over $2 million to resolve allegations of medical fraud against him, the US Justice Department revealed. Between 2021 and 2023, the 63-year-old doctor billed federally funded health care programs like Medicare and the Department of Labor's Workers' Compensation Programs for surgical implants that he never performed. Dr Aggarwal received thousands of dollars per procedure, but patients received simple devices which required no surgery. And all device placements used to take place at Aggarwal's clinic, not a hospital or surgical center. 'A doctor who uses simple medical devices on his patients, yet bills Medicare for a sophisticated spinal surgery, is billing the American taxpayer, plain and simple,' said US Attorney Nicholas J Ganjei.. 'The Southern District of Texas will ensure that losses to federally funded healthcare programs from fraudulent billing, like what happened here, are recouped and that wrongdoers are held accountable.' A 2023 document of the DOJ revealed that earlier he was accused of giving unnecessary treatment to federal employees with federal workers' compensation benefits and his pharmacy Medley, which was officially owned by his wife, filed the prescriptions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brilliant Uses For Baking Soda That Really Surprised Us Read More Undo An employee of Medley acted as a whistleblower and said that during his term of employment, he saw patients being sent unnecessary with unnecessary medications being prescribed. In some cases, the patients did not even see or meet Dr Aggarwal. And Medley employees were allegedly instructed to auto-fill medications on a monthly basis and to use pre-printed prescription pads to submit the prescriptions to DOL-OWCP without consideration of medical need. The new fraud of Dr Aggarwal came to be reported at a time when foreign doctors are under fire, while several Republican leaders said US needs more doctors and foreign doctors can fill the gap.

Clear the myths, recognise organ donation as a lifeline
Organ transplantation is one of modern medicine's greatest triumphs. A miracle of 20th century medicine, organ transplants are the gold standard treatment for terminal and irreversible organ failure. Yet, in India, more than half a million lives are lost every year for lack of a suitable donor organ. This is despite the number of transplants performed every year, from 4,990 in 2013 to 18,378 in 2023. However, this number includes only 1,099 deceased organ donors after brain death. The Indian organ donation rate per million population is only 0.8, which is much lower than the highest rate of over 45 per million population in Spain and the United States. As I have often said, losing a fellow Indian due to the lack of an organ for transplant is a preventable fatality we cannot, and must not accept. Helping families to overcome their fears The reasons for this gap between demand and supply include deep-seated myths and misconceptions that discourage families from consenting to donation after a patient's death. To change this situation, we must launch sustained education and awareness campaigns. Many families believe that donating one's organs disfigures the body, preventing proper funeral rites. Families worry about the deceased person's physical integrity being affected or of violating religious traditions. In reality, organ retrieval is performed with the utmost respect and care, ensuring that the donor's appearance is preserved for viewing and final ceremonies. Health-care teams work within the framework of cultural practices, and leaders across faiths have publicly affirmed that organ donation is an act of compassion aligned with spiritual values espoused in all religions. Another widespread myth is the fear that some families harbour that hospital staff might prematurely declare brain death just to harvest organs. This is a complete falsehood as a declaration of brain death requires strict adherence to a structured legal and clinical framework established under the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994. This involves strict medical criteria, a multidisciplinary board of experts, defined clinical assessments repeated after a stipulated interval, and thorough documentation on prescribed forms. The procedure is robust, transparent and ethically sound to ensure an unbiased confirmation of irreversible neurological death, an upholding of ethical standards, and the enabling of timely organ retrieval for transplantation. The issue of age and health Age and health status often give rise to another misunderstanding — that only young accident victims can donate organs. While certain organs perform best when recovered from younger donors, many organs and tissues, such as the kidneys, liver segments, the lungs, and the corneas can come from older donors or those who die of natural causes. Every contribution counts, with even donations of bone, skin and heart valves able to save or dramatically improve lives. Addressing these myths requires a sustained focus. Audio-visual campaigns on television and social media can reach younger audiences. Using real donor families and transplant recipients in communication can show how transplants save real lives. Community workshops, led by trained counsellors, can provide safe spaces for questions and discussions, directly addressing concerns about funeral rites, medical protocols, and donor eligibility. Donation awareness must be instilled in schools and colleges from a young age. By integrating organ donation education into the life sciences and ethics curriculum, we can nurture a culture of giving. Peer-to-peer education empowers students to take ownership of the message, fostering empathy and debunking myths through relatable storytelling. Health-care professionals themselves must also become champions of organ donation. Regular training sessions can equip physicians, nurses and other health-care staff with the knowledge and the skills to initiate compassionate conversations with families of potential donors. At Apollo Hospitals, we have dedicated transplant coordination teams who guide families through the complex decision-making process with sensitivity and clarity. Steps to ensure public confidence I strongly believe that India needs a collective national will to bridge the massive gap between organ supply and demand. The push given to organ donation on this day must be sustained going forward through policy reforms and grass-roots engagement. One promising policy proposal is presumed consent, adopted in countries in Europe such as Spain and Croatia, with significant success. Under this system, every adult is considered an organ donor unless they register an objection. Alongside presumed consent, robust family support systems and grievance redress mechanisms are vital to ensure public confidence and ethical oversight. Organ donation is not just a medical procedure. It is a profound act of charity. And to donate one's organs so that others may live is perhaps the noblest legacy one can leave. The time to act is now. Every eligible adult must register as a donor, and every family must pledge to respect their decision. For patients with end-stage disease where an organ transplant is the only treatment, organ donation is a lifeline. By busting myths and with an unwavering commitment, we can ensure that no Indian loses their life for want of an organ. Today, on World Organ Donation Day (August 13 every year), let us all pledge to embrace this cause as a shared responsibility. Dr. Prathap C. Reddy is Founder-Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group

Shresth: New national index to boost drug safety across India
New Delhi: The Union health ministry has launched the State Health Regulatory Excellence Index (Shresth) to benchmark and strengthen the systems that regulate drugs in states through a transparent, data-driven framework. The health of all citizens begins with the safety, quality, and effectiveness of the medicines they take, and ensuring their quality is a commitment of the government to every person in India, said Punya Salila Srivastava, Union health secretary in on Tuesday. The Shresth initiative, proposed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), aims to improve the performance of state drug regulatory authorities nationwide, guaranteeing that drug safety and quality standards are consistently met. During a virtual meeting with health secretaries and drug controllers from various states and Union territories, Srivastava described Shresth as a virtual tool for states to assess their current position and work toward a "maturity certification". She emphasized the crucial role played by states and Union territories in ensuring quality manufacturing and distribution in India and the need to recognize and support their best practices. The new index will enable targeted improvements in human resources, infrastructure, and digitization across states, ensuring drug safety is guaranteed for every Indian, regardless of where they live. The states will be divided into two categories: 'manufacturing states' and primarily distribution states/UTs', and will be ranked accordingly. Manufacturing states will be evaluated on 27 indices across five key areas: human resources, infrastructure, licensing activities, surveillance activities, and responsiveness. Primarily distribution states will be evaluated on 23 indices. The data for the predefined metrics will be submitted by states to the CDSCO by the 25th of each month, with the scores being calculated and shared with all states and union territories on the 1st of the following month. Dr. Rajeev Singh Raghuvanshi, the Drug Controller General of India, said this index will help to harmonize regulatory processes across the country. It will also promote cross-learning of best practices and a collaborative spirit among states. The CDSCO will facilitate the sharing of success stories from top-performing states to encourage collaboration and the transfer of knowledge. Representatives from the states pointed out that Shresth is not just a scorecard but a roadmap for states to ensure safe and effective drugs and medical devices. They also noted that a uniform implementation of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, along with the sharing of best practices and a structured knowledge-sharing platform, will help ensure that all states have a functional regulatory system. Srivastava also highlighted India's achievement of WHO maturity level-3 status for vaccines, stressing that the next step is to elevate medicines to the same global standard, reinforcing India's role as the 'pharmacy of the world'. Mint on 9 February reported that about the government's plan on developing drug regulatory index.
