Region Västernorrland reports procurement of surgery robot to the police

Region Västernorrland filed a police report on Wednesday regarding irregularities in a previously completed procurement.

– I can’t go into details about this right now. We have handed this over to the police to investigate whether there is any criminal act involved in the action, says Roger Westerlund, regional director of local healthcare area south.

The operating robot at Sundsvall Hospital was inaugurated in December last year to be used for advanced peephole surgery. In October this year, the use was stopped after several incidents.
