A woman, who was delivered of twins, died on Tuesday, it is said, after being infused blood of a wrong group in Vijayapura.

Sharada Dodamani of Dadamatti village near Babaleshwar was admitted to the District Hospital on February 23 this year. She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Then, she was shifted to the BLDE Hospital, as she suffered severe blood loss. The doctors at BLDE Hospital, meanwhile, diagnosed that she was given blood of a wrong group.

The family said that the doctors and staff attending on her at the District Hospital have been negligent.

Following a complaint by the woman’s family, District Hospital director Shivanand Mastiholi has placed four hospital staff under suspension pending a detailed inquiry, a press release said.
