New Mother in Jodhpur Hospital Battles Kidney Failure After Wrong Blood Transfusion
A 24-year-old new mother, Dhapu Bhil, is critically ill after receiving a wrong blood transfusion at Ummed Hospital in Jodhpur following childbirth. Initially given her correct O-positive blood, she was later transfused with B-positive blood, leading to severe complications including kidney failure and the need for continuous dialysis at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital. Hospital authorities have formed a committee to investigate, citing possible confusion due to patients sharing names. The family alleges they were not informed about the transfusion error.
