AIIMS Bhubaneswar Doctor Donates Blood To Save Pregnant Woman’s Life

Bhubaneswar: Asst Prof. Dr Debashish Mishra of Department of Transfusion Medicine, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, turned out to be a life saver as he donated one unit of B-Negative blood instantly to a woman with ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

Dr Mishra was on duty when he came to know of an urgent requirement of blood for a pregnant woman in serious condition. There was no relative of the woman who could donate the required B-Negative blood for the patient who was under acute pain caused by ruptured ectopic pregnancy and in bleeding condition.

B-Negative blood was not available in the Blood Bank of AIIMS at that time.

In such an emergency situation, Dr Mishra came forward and donated the required blood to the patient.

According to the patient’s treating gynaecologist, the woman could have died had she not received the required blood immediately.

The woman has been discharged from hospital after a few days of treatment in Gynaecology department, and is doing well.

Applauding Dr Mishra’s noble gesture, AIIMS Bhubaneswar Executive Director Prof. (Dr) Ashutosh Biswas said doctors not only treat patients but also have a golden heart and extend any kind of help to the needy.

Dr Mishra has set an example, added Dr Biswas.
