The Netherlands - June 2007 - RTL news Recent research shows that over 1700 people die in hospitals due to medical errors in The Netherlands annually. Another 30.000 are severely harmed by mistakes made by specialists, family doctors or pharmacists and by MRSA infections. After review of the results, the medical system has been granted 5 years to show improvement. Only 450 passengers fit into a Boeing 747, yet if one would crash, the emergency prevention measures would not even allow another one to take off. Although we realise that shutting down all healthcare facilities is not an answer, 5 years seems like an eternity.
