Are hospitals really as safe as we think they are? According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the statistics might surprise you. The WHO states that one in 10 hospital admissions leads to an adverse event, and one in 300 admissions ends in death. These statistics are alarming and raise concerns about the safety of healthcare facilities worldwide.
- Medication Errors: Incorrect dosages or administering the wrong medication can have serious consequences for patients.
- Surgical Complications: Surgical procedures carry risks, and complications can arise during or after surgery.
- Hospital-Acquired Infections: Patients can develop infections while hospitalized, leading to prolonged stays and increased healthcare costs.
“First, do no harm” is the most fundamental principle of any health care service. No one should be harmed in health care; however, there is compelling evidence of a huge burden of avoidable patient harm globally across the developed and developing healthcare systems. This has major human, moral, ethical, and financial implications.
The study revealed that millions of injuries and deaths in India can be attributed to medical errors and adverse events. This staggering number highlights the urgent need for improved patient safety measures and better protocols within healthcare facilities. From misdiagnoses to surgical errors, the consequences of these mistakes are devastating for patients and their families…
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 10% of patients worldwide experience medical errors annually. But guess what? Prof. Jha from Harvard University did a study and found out that India has about 5.2 million medical errors every year. Among these errors, medication mistakes and hospital-acquired infections are the most significant ones.
There is no standardised method to investigate death as a patient safety indicator and we need valid and reliable measurements to use adverse events contributing to death as a quality measure.
TOI Apr 20, 2011: The World Health Organization (WHO) states that one in 10 hospital admissions leads to an adverse event and one in 300 admissions in death. Medical errors pose a significant threat to patient safety, with the WHO listing them among the top 10 killers globally. Medical errors result in 2,000 deaths annually from unnecessary surgery, 7,000 from medication errors, 20,000 from other errors, 80,000 from infections, and 106,000 from non-error adverse effects of medications. Dr Nikhil Datar organized a seminar to raise awareness about these errors.
The Indian government has established the National Initiative on Patient Safety in the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences to address medical negligence. Dr. Akhil Sangal of the Indian Confederation for Healthcare Accreditation suggests that the first question to be asked when medical negligence occurs is how, when, and where the negligence occurred. An example of this is a 10-year-old leukemia patient in Britain who died due to a wrong injection. Dr. Mathew Joseph, involved in a nationwide study on clinical practices, believes that patient safety can reduce overall mortality and morbidity associated with hospitalization.

Leaked Documents Show American Doctors Were Financially Rewarded For Pushing The Covid Jab.
Millions of Americans were advised by their doctors to get “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) – not because they actually care about their patients, mind you, but because they were bribed by health insurance companies to peddle as many jabs as possible in exchange for cash. A leaked document from Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) Medicaid shows how the health provider created a “COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Incentive program” to reward doctors for pushing COVID-19 jabs on their patients (source). Does this against their Hippocratic Oath?

“Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is one of the best and safest ways people can protect themselves and their families against the virus,” Anthem Medicaid claims in the document’s opener.
“As a participating practice in the COVID-19 Provider Vaccine Incentive program, we recognize your hard work by offering incentives for helping patients make the choice to become vaccinated.”
Bad things happen when dispensing experimental drugs is incentivized.
In order to qualify for cash bribes from Anthem Medicaid, a physician must, in this particular case, be part of a participating Kentucky primary care provider that is allied with Anthem BCBS Medicaid and have a panel size of 25 or more members.
“All Anthem members identified as receiving COVID-19 vaccination services are included in the methodology,” the document states. “Vaccine results will be determined by a COVID-19 vaccine claim or by confirmation from the Kentucky Vaccine Registry.”
Anthem calculated the payments to be disbursed in two separate time periods: the first one on Sept. 1, 2021, and the second on Dec. 31, 2021. The greater the percentage of Anthem members vaccinated for covid, the higher the payments, according to the plan.
For each Anthem member vaccinated up to 30 percent of the member pool, a physician qualified to receive a $20 “bonus” payment. If a doctor can get more than 30 percent of Anthem members jabbed, he or she received $45 for each up to 40 percent; $70 for each up to 50 percent; $100 for each up to 60 percent; and $125 for each at 75 percent and beyond.
The structure for the second and final bribe payment was similar except the payment tiers are much higher. If 30 percent of Anthem members got jabbed, a qualifying doctor received $100 per newly jabbed member. The rest is as follows:
40 percent of Anthem members vaccinated equals $150 bonus per newly jabbed member
50 percent of Anthem members vaccinated equals $175 bonus per newly jabbed member
60 percent of Anthem members vaccinated equals $200 bonus per newly jabbed member
75 percent of Anthem members vaccinated equals $250 bonus per newly jabbed member
Depending on the size of the practice and how many qualifying patients got jabbed, this equates to a lot of money for the best convincers. And with money constantly being dangled on a stick as an incentive, it is unlikely that qualifying doctors ever bothered to warn their patients of the risks involved – because to do so might have deterred them from getting jabbed, resulting in less bribe money.
