Ex-teacher awarded RM450,000
By EMBUN MAJID
ALOR STAR: A former Quran teacher, who sued the Government over the HIV-contaminated blood she received during a transfusion seven years ago at Jitra Hospital, has been awarded RM450,000.
High Court deputy registrar Ruzita Md Lazim awarded Bashah Mustaffa, 54, the amount in chambers yesterday.
Bashah, her husband Abdul Halim Abdul Hamid, 52, and their four children had originally sought RM100mil in damages in their suit against the Jitra Hospital director and three others in 2000.
In June 2003, the hospital director admitted that his staff had been negligent in treating Bashah, but denied responsibility for her husband and children.
Their cases would be heard next month.
Bashah was warded at the hospital on April 28, 2000, for severe menstrual bleeding.
She was given two pints of blood and asked to return for a blood test a week later.
On May 8, she was told of the mistake.
The Kedah Health Department had said that the contaminated blood had been administered to Bashah before the hospital received the results of the blood screening as required by the World Health Organisation.
Yesterday, Bashah said she was happy that the case was over.
However, she said that she had not been feeling well after her free medication was stopped last July.
“I was told by a doctor that I will need to take new medication but so far I have received none,” she said.

The above news item has its overview on an earlier page as:-

Bashah Mustaffa received RM450,000 compensation over HIV-contaminated blood at the Jitra Hospital.

It can be seen that the word "received" used in the above overview could be inppropriate because it would take some time before the
money could be paid out and received; and it would be so only should there be no appeal.
