Woman dies after blood transfusion delay at Giridih Sadar Hospital
Bokaro: A 50-year-old woman died on Friday allegedly after a delay in blood processing and transfusion at Giridih Sadar Hospital, sparking outrage among relatives who accused the hospital administration and blood bank staff of gross negligence.
Meena Devi of Phoolchi village in Giridih had severe anaemia for a long time and was admitted on Thursday after her condition worsened. Doctors advised an immediate transfusion, and the family arranged a donor and deposited blood at the hospital blood bank. Relatives alleged staff said the sample would be sent to Ranchi for testing and blood would be available by Friday morning. Her husband, Dhiren Rai, said they took her home overnight as they lived nearby. On Friday, they were allegedly asked to submit her sample again.
“The sample was submitted immediately, but ... the blood bank staff kept us waiting for nearly two hours,” Rai alleged.
Civil surgeon Dr Bachcha Singh said a preliminary probe found negligence by a lab technician and termination proceedings were initiated.
