Waiting lists for Isala heart care getting longer, ‘patient safety at stake’

From internal documents held by the Volkskrant, the waiting lists appear to be increasing considerably. This is partly due to a conflict over the replacement of two suspended cardiologists suspected of corruption. It is unknown whether those heart specialists also worked at the outpatient clinic of the Meppeler hospital. “We have one Heart Center, but we hold outpatient clinics at several locations, including in Meppel,” a spokesperson said earlier.
