The Health and Care Inspection (Ivo) will initiate a review of the Karolinska University Hospital’s priorities in intensive care.
This is after health care staff in Stockholm warned that patients needing intensive care take priority despite the vacancies, SVT reports.
– Some tips are about prioritizing kidney disease over intensive care. Based on these indications, we chose to initiate supervision at Karolinska University Hospital. Now we will review the business, Linda Almqvist, Ivo’s legal director, tells SVT.
According to SVT, the tips are described as serious, and apply not only to Karolinska but also to hospitals in the region that have different priorities. Among other things, these are people who are denied intensive care so that younger people with a better prognosis may need the places later.
In an email to SVT, the chief physician at Karolinska University Hospital, Filippa Nyberg, writes that the hospital appreciates the supervision.
