The Japanese Society of Neurosurgery has criticized the Kyoto Daiichi Red Cross Hospital's neurosurgery department for receiving administrative guidance from Kyoto City due to insufficient verification of surgical records and safety management in some cases. It has been learned that the certification as a facility for training to become a specialist has been suspended.
Four years ago, at the neurosurgery department of Kyoto Daiichi Red Cross Hospital in Kyoto City, a woman in her 70s underwent surgery for a brain tumor. In January, we issued administrative guidance and requested improvements, as there were three cases, including this woman's, where verification of surgical records and safety management was insufficient.
This hospital was certified as a facility for training to become a specialist in neurosurgery, but in response to this situation, the Japanese Society of Neurosurgery interviewed the hospital and discussed it at the board of directors, and found that the It was learned that the certification was suspended on the 31st of last month due to concerns regarding education, such as the management system.
According to the academic society, the suspension of accreditation is an unprecedented measure, and a new review will be conducted once the hospital's management system has been improved.
The hospital said, ``We take this very seriously. We apologize for causing anxiety to the patients and their families.We also apologize for causing worry and inconvenience to the doctors who were scheduled to undergo specialist training.'' I am commenting on this.
