A private Indian hospital group that has been under investigation since authorities uncovered illegal organ harvesting at its New Delhi facility in June is opening a telemedical center in Phnom Penh this weekend that will refer Cambodians abroad for transplants and other services.Khmerhamster wrote:http://cambodiadaily.com/news/telemedic ... be-116627/

Apollo Hospitals, the largest private health care group in India, says it intends to serve poor and critically ill Cambodians living in rural areas.
Apollo’s troubles in India began in June, when police launched an investigation into the company’s Indraprastha hospital in New Delhi after uncovering an illegal organ-harvesting ring at the facility.
Organizers were accused of buying kidneys for an average of $4,480 and selling them on the black market at a profit, Reuters reported.
At least nine people, including two assistants of a nephrologist employed by the hospital, were reportedly arrested over the scheme, in which traffickers allegedly gave victims fake identification documents to trick hospital staff into thinking they were the organ recipients’ relatives, according to Reuters.
Does not inspire confidence

unrelated but similar, so I'll mention it here. A group of hospital employees in Pakistan have been arrested for stealing newborn babies, telling the parents they had died in childbirth, and then selling the babies. Bastards.

Private health care providers don't normally target poor ill Cambodians living in rural areas since that demographic don't normally have the cash to pay.
Can we expect to see Raffles/SOS clinic touting their wares in Kampong Buttfuck any time soon ?
Interested to see where this goes.
