Addiction to drugs – woman dies of overdose

The region is now making a lex Maria notification to the Inspectorate for Care and Care (Ivo).

— We haven’t been able to coordinate, minimize and taper down the drugs, that’s where the shortcoming lies, says Charlotta Brunner, chief physician at Region Kalmar, to SVT News Småland.

The woman had for several years been treated at the psychiatry in Kalmar County, but also had other healthcare contacts in the region. According to Charlotta Brunner, there was a lack of a holistic view of the medication.
