Confidential blood donor records stolen from Kidwai hospital
The confidential blood donor records of the Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology in Bengaluru were allegedly stolen after an unidentified person gained unauthorized access to the facility. The stolen documents, which contained sensitive medical information including HIV, HCV, HBsAg, and other blood-transfusion-related tests, were found missing from a cupboard in the Transfusion Transmitted Infection (TTI) section on September 24.
The police have registered a case under specific sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, and are investigating the incident to identify the suspect and recover the documents. The lack of CCTV footage in the area has made the investigation more challenging for the authorities.
