A dengue patient in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj was allegedly given sweet line juice (mosambi juice) instead of plasma, which led to his death, his family has claimed. The family has alleged that the patient was administered fake plasma. The incident took place in Jhalwa locality of Prayagraj.
The hospital has now been sealed and Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak has ordered a probe into the incident.
A video allegedly showing mosambi juice inside a blood pack has surfaced on social media and is going viral. After the incident triggered outrage, the Chief Medical Officer ordered that Global Hospital and Trauma Centre where the incident took place must be shut. The patient, Pradeep Pandey, was admitted to the hospital on October 17 and died two days later.
All the patients of the hospital have been shifted to other hospitals for medical treatment and the district administration has ordered a three-member committee to probe the matter. A preliminary enquiry into the incident has revealed medical negligence.
