Satna/Bhopal, Dec 20 || Chief Health and Medical Officer (CHMO) of Satna district, Dr Manoj Shukla, on Saturday said that multiple teams are investigating the case of six thalassaemic children who tested positive for HIV, but no concrete findings have emerged so far.
Dr Shukla, a senior surgeon who has been issued a show-cause notice by the state administration, told that the matter is complex and will take time to reach definitive conclusions.
“Multiple investigation teams have arrived, and each is conducting inquiries according to its specific mandate. As of now, nothing conclusive has come to light. The investigation will take time as this is a lengthy and complex matter,” he said.
He added that tracing blood donors is proving to be a major challenge. “The list of donors is very long, and tracing, calling, examining, and investigating so many people is a difficult task,” Dr Shukla said.
