UP Hospital Accused Of Mosambi Juice In IV Drip Now Faces Bulldozer Threat

A demolition notice has been served to the hospital, where a dengue patient was allegedly transfused Mosambi juice, for unauthorised construction.

A private hospital in Uttar Pradesh where a dengue patient died allegedly after he was transfused fruit juice instead of blood platelets faces a bulldozer threat. A demolition notice has been served to the Prayagraj hospital for unauthorised construction.

The hospital was built without permission and it must be vacated by Friday, the notice said. The hospital was sealed last week and there are no patients there.

A preliminary enquiry revealed lapses on the part of its authorities after the family of the 32-year-old dengue patient alleged that they supplied sweet lime (mosambi) juice in a bag marked "plasma". A medical report on whether the dispute platelet bag contained juice has not been made public.
