Opposition DMK Wednesday lashed out at the ruling AIADMK over the transfusion of HIV infected blood to a pregnant woman, saying it showed how the state-run hospitals function under this "corrupt government".
Party president M K Stalin in a tweet said "blood boils" over the incident and demanded a review of all stocks in blood banks.
"Can there be a better example of the way government hospitals function under this corrupt government," he said in the tweet in Tamil.
Stalin urged Health Minister C Vijayabaskar to be more pro-active.
The CPI (M) state unit demanded appropriate medical treatment for the victim and a compensation of Rs one crore to her.
Party's state unit secretary K Balakrishnan also sought legal action against the guilty persons.
A 24-year-old pregnant woman in Virudhunagar district contracted HIV allegedly after being transfused contaminated blood supplied by a blood bank attached to a government hospital earlier this month.
The state government Wednesday ordered examination of stocks in all blood banks while three lab technicians of the blood bank attached to a government hospital in Sattur in Virudhunagar district had been terminated.
