Last year, Yamagata Saisei Hospital in Yamagata City was visited by the Yamagata City Public Health Center regarding medical personnel other than doctors suturing parts of patients' skin during surgeries for more than a year. It was learned through interviews with those involved that he had been tested.
Yamagata Saisei Hospital in Okimachi, Yamagata City, reported that from January 2021 to April 2021, ``medical personnel other than doctors performed some of the skin sutures during surgery under the guidance of doctors.'' announced on the 17th.
Regarding this, in December last year, we learned through interviews with hospital personnel that the hospital had undergone an on-site inspection by the Yamagata City Public Health Center.
The public health center conducts on-site inspections to determine whether there are any problems with the medical safety management system.
The hospital has punished those involved and instructed its staff to carry out their duties within an appropriate scope, and has also explained that ``there was no physical impact on the patient.''
In response to an interview, Yamagata Saisei Hospital said, ``There is no doubt that he underwent an on-site inspection, but we are unable to discuss the details as we are waiting for the test results.''
