A real case of negligence has put the nation into a great shocker and sent to disbelief as a 24-year-old pregnant woman in Tamil Nadu is HIV positive after she received blood during a blood transfusion at a government hospital in Virudhunagar district, around 500 km from Chennai.
The authorities suspended three lab technicians of a government-run blood bank in the neighbouring town of Sivakasi those who were responsible for the unjustifiable mistake.. Two years ago, they had allegedly failed to record or inform a blood donor that he was HIV positive.
The government has offered financial compensation and jobs for the woman and her husband, but they want help for private treatment after the negligence, NDTV reported.
