In 2019, theGovernment of Jharkhandissued a directive to take legal action against the Medanta Abdur Razzaque Ansari Memorial Weavers' Hospital inRanchifor a suspected instance of medical negligence involving a kidney transplant; the doctors did not filter the blood before the transplant, thus the operation failed.

In 2019,Madhya Pradesh High Courtfined the Indore unit of the hospital₹25 lakh(US$35,501.13), for failing to establish an internal complaints committee as required by Section 4(1) of theSexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.[33]
