    Dear Shri Sudhir Chaudhary,
    Re: Serious defects found on J&J Hip Implant
    I am a business person based in New Delhi. For the last 10 years my mother was suffering from Hip transfers which was manufactured by Johnson and Johnson of USA.
    As the Hip Implant system has been found very defective and thousands of patients in India have received this Implant, but only a few are aware of the defective effects. The Government of India, Ministry of Health is shown interest in taking action.
    In this connection an 11-Member Committee set up by the Health Ministry in 2017 came to the conclusion that J&J was at fault for serious medical negligence. The case histories of the patients have revealed that a flaw in the design of the implant led to an increase in chromium and cobalt levels in the body, which had a toxic effect on other parts of the body, endangering the lives of the patients.

    I am also one of the witnesses in this issue since my 80 year old mother had to undergo three surgeries to remove the broken implant and her life was saved with great difficulty.
    In this connection, I would like to meet you to make thousands of Indians aware of this problem and the negligence on the part of John & Johnson.
