As advocates for victims of medical negligence, we call on healthcare providers, government officials, and the community to work together to implement meaningful changes. By increasing capacity, enhancing training, and investing in infrastructure, we can create a healthcare system that prioritises patient safety and delivers the highest standard of care. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that no patient endures unnecessary suffering due to systemic failures. #FriendsofEnnisHospital https://lnkd.in/eeJxwueh
