Wrong Blood Transfusion at Puri Sadar Hospital: Leukemia Patient Critical, Probe Ordered
A shocking case of alleged medical negligence has surfaced at Puri Sadar Hospital, where a leukaemia patient was reportedly transfused with the wrong blood type.
According to family members, Pradarshini Pradhan, who required A+ blood, was mistakenly given B+ blood during transfusion.
Soon after, her condition deteriorated—she suffered blood vomiting and had to be shifted to a private hospital in Bhubaneswar for urgent treatment.
Relatives have accused hospital staff of failing to verify the blood group before transfusion, calling it a grave lapse in medical protocol.
The incident has sparked outrage, with demands for accountability and strict action against those responsible.
The Chief District Medical Officer (CDMO) has assured that an investigation will be conducted and appropriate measures will follow.
This case underscores the urgent need for stricter checks in blood banks and hospital wards to prevent such life‑threatening errors.
