ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has directed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to investigate the medical colleges over illegal trade of human organs.
He ordered investigation against the medical colleges that are playing with human lives and have failed to fulfil the required criteria
“This should be ascertain as this (granting of permission to undeserved medical colleges) was the result of negligence of the authorities concerned (to allow these colleges to operate) or the crime was committed consciously,” Nisar said in a statement.
“Whether it is the issue of illegal sale, purchase and transplant of human organs or playing with the future of medical students, in both matters, the involved elements not only committed professional dishonesty but are also culprits before humanity and their strict accountability is necessary,” he added. “Strict accountability is required for the persons who are involved in these crimes.”
Nisar sought a report into these issues, unauthorised medical colleges and illegal human organs transplant within fifteen days.
Meanwhile, the FIA formally launched investigation into the illegal trade of human organs. It is conducting investigation against persons and their facilitators who are involved in the heinous crime.
