Wrong Blood Transfusion at Jodhpur Hospital Causes Kidney Complications in New MotherPreviousNext

A 24-year-old woman, Dhapu Bhil, from Jodhpur is critically ill after receiving a wrong blood transfusion at Ummed Hospital following childbirth. Initially given O-positive blood, she was mistakenly transfused B-positive blood during a second transfusion, leading to severe kidney complications and dialysis at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital. Hospital officials attribute the error to a possible mix-up involving patients with the same name. An investigation committee has been formed to examine the incident.
