India's health ministry has ordered a probe into Apollo Hospital Delhi, part of the largest private hospital chain Apollo Hospitals, after media reports linked it to the illegal sale by Myanmar nationals of their kidneys for organ transplants. The scandal has prompted the World Bank to review its funding of the hospital chain, which has received £120 million in investments since 2005. Additionally, India's TV18 Broadcast is set to merge with Network18 in a $1.2 billion deal, while hospital and pharmacy chain Aster DM Healthcare plans to acquire private operators in India after selling its Gulf business for $1 billion.
