Rajasthan doctor removes Right Kidney instead of left, Hospital Registration cancelled

The healthy left kidney of a patient at Dhankar Hospital in Jhunjhunu was taken out, instead of the right kidney on May 15. Later she was taken to a hospital in Jaipur where doctors told her about the error.

As per a media report in the TOI, Banu's health improved enough at SMS Hospital over the next week to be considered fit for discharge on May 25, but her body swelled on Tuesday, requiring emergency hospitalization in a govt facility in Bikaner.

It was further alleged that the SMS hospital did not report the patient's condition to the authorities delaying action against Dhankar Hospital.

“The state government has cancelled the clinical establishment registration of the hospital with immediate effect and action is being taken to cancel the empanelment of this hospital in various government health schemes,” she said.

According to the guidelines of the Supreme Court, a five-member inquiry committee has been formed, the ACS said. Further action will be taken by registering an FIR after the inquiry, she said.
