Government to act against clinic using stem cell therapy

New Delhi: The Government has ordered an inquiry into the activities of a fertility clinic conducting embryonic stem cell therapy and warned of stringent action against those found violating the rules and guilty of playing with the health of unsuspecting patients, Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss said.

The fertility clinic in East Delhi had claimed to have conducted stem cell therapy on scores of patients, including the former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister, Ajit Jogi.

"We are conducting an inquiry into the claims of the clinic. Once the inquiry report comes, action will be taken against those responsible for violating the ethical norms and other issues," Dr. Anbumani said. — UNI
