The North West Regional Health Authority (NWRHA) has been ordered to pay a little over $400,000 in compensation to a 72-year-old woman who had an adverse reaction after being given the wrong type of blood during a routine blood transfusion.
High Court judge Joan Charles ordered the compensation for Angela Badree, of Williamsville, after upholding her medical negligence lawsuit against the NWRHA on Wednesday.
