“Krisen på Haukeland: KK-direktør trekker seg fra sin stilling”
admin
Four experienced surgeons at the gynecological cancer department at Haukeland University Hospital have resigned due to high work pressure over a long period of time.
This has resulted in a shortage of surgeons for advanced surgeries, leading to patients being referred to other hospitals.
A survey conducted by the employee representatives in Helse Bergen showed that 13 out of 24 departments in the health trust do not have enough specialist doctors at levels 2 and 3.
The situation has been described as "serious" and "worrying" by the management of Helse Bergen.
The managing director of Helse Bergen accepted the resignations and emphasized the need to ensure patient care for gynecological cancer patients.
The director of the gynecological cancer department at Haukeland University Hospital will step down on October 1, earlier than planned, to facilitate the recruitment of a new director and ensure a smooth transition.
The resigning director has not yet responded to requests for comments from the media.
