A day after it came to light that Dr Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Hospital in Panvel handed over the wrong body to the family of a deceased person, the facility has launched an in-depth inquiry into the body swap incident and drafting a new SOP to prevent a repeat.

The hospital’s Medical Superintendent Dr Ashok Githe said,  “A team has been formed to draft a new SOP for the postmortem process so that such incidents do not occur again. Our internal committee is looking into the issue, and appropriate action will be taken,” Dr Githe explained.
