A 31-year old woman was allegedly infused blood of a wrong group during surgery in a private hospital in Kolkata.
Baishakhi Saha is fighting for her life at Columbia Asia hospital. Her family has alleged that during her operation, instead of A+ blood, which is her blood group, the hospital allegedly transfused AB+ into her body. Following this, she suffered multiple organ failures and her condition got critical.
Her husband Abhijit Saha told news agency ANI, "I admitted my wife to Columbia Asia hospital on June 5 after she complained of severe stomach ache. She was infused blood of a wrong group during surgery. Her lungs and kidneys are damaged and she is now on ventilator support."
He has also sent a letter to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asking her to take strict actions against the hospital authorities.
A case has also been filed Kolkata's Bidhan Nagar police station and further investigation is underway.
