Doctors behind the wrong diagnoses of 78 children request that the identification be revoked

A year ago, it was revealed that the doctor wrongly declared 78 children healthy from heart defects during his time as an employee within Region Jönköping.

Several of the children were forced to have operations after the discovery and the Health and Care Inspectorate criticized Ryhov County Hospital.

The doctor was employed in 2014 at the children's clinic in Jönköping and worked there until 2021. From there he moved on to the Children's Heart Center in Skåne, before his incorrect diagnoses were discovered. The doctor resigned from Region Skåne and quit this summer.

Now the doctor himself has requested that his ID be revoked. In the request, he writes that the decision has been made voluntarily and without pressure from any other party.
