A colonial inquiry into the deaths of Karen Wilkinson, 44, Carmelina Sirianni, 63, and Gurpal Sandhu, 64, has prompted calls to improve communication between hospitals and medical staff.
The three women received the organs from the same donor, 57-year-old Jovo Vranjesevic, but all died within six days of each other – and within a month of the transplants.
Mr Vranjesevic died from a stroke 12 days after returning to Melbourne following a three-month stay with relatives in Serbia in 2006 The inquest heard he contracted lymphocytic choriomeningitis, an infectious virus spread by house mice, during his stay in Serbia, though he did not die from it.
However, the coroner, Audrey Jamieson, found the three women developed complications within days of their transplants in 2007 and all died of the virus.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
