Swedish hospital 'deeply regrets' giving 33 women unnecessary hysterectomies
Briefly

Uppsala University Hospital reported that an alarming rise in misdiagnoses of women aged 38 to 85 led to unnecessary recommendations for surgery for precancerous cells.
The diagnosis of Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) was found to be incorrect, indicating a systematic overdiagnosis that has deeply affected many women's lives.
Johan Lugnegard, chief physician at the hospital, expressed profound regret about the irreversible consequences of unnecessary surgeries resulting from these incorrect diagnoses.
The hospital is offering affected women the opportunity to apply for compensation, acknowledging the serious implications of the mistaken procedures that were recommended.
