“The stories of the family and the patients are very troubling”, says the doctor, Marie Vandecasteele (PVDA). “Also the staff pulls for years to sound the alarm. Belgium scores poorly in terms of staffing levels in hospitals. To the necessary quality guarantee should additional staff be hired. We put this on the agenda of the next Antwerp city council, of 29 april.”

“We must make sure of the high quality expected in our public hospitals. The responsible ships Fons Duchateau the stories very seriously. It is equally disturbing that he has this problems not previously picked up things and dealt with it.”
