Confidential medical records sent to India for computerization are being offered for sale?

”We are very concerned that private patients’ medical records are on sale in India. The ICO will establish the full facts and will then decide what action, if any, needs to be taken” says Sall Anne Poole, head of investigations at the Information Commissioner’s Office in UK.

Indian outsourcing industry sources say these charges are all bogus. There are no valid proof of such medical records on sale in India. This may be another UK attempt to discredit Indian outsourcing industry.

According to some media reports, Chris Rogers, the program’s presenter, contacted two Indian brokers through an internet chat room posing as a marketing executive keen to buy medical records to sell insurance and medicines.

Mr. Rogers alleges he bought more than 100 files with detailed medical records of British patients from the two Indian outsourcing brokers. This may be the act of the two unscrpulous Indian business guys but there is no evidence of widespread sell of medical records in India.

One of the brokers revealed that the source of the mediacal records are from the staff at an Indian ‘transcription’ centre where medical records are computerized.
