Medical mistakes are all too common in the United States. But we’re not alone. Canada is now promising a new registry of medical errors after some high profile incidents.
One woman in her 60s had a breast removed when it wasn’t necessary and another wasn’t scheduled to have surgery until after the mistake was discovered.
Currently various health districts in Canada track their own mistakes but the province does not collect information in one location and analyze it.
Nova Scotia’s health minister says the new registry has been in the works for a year. An interim system will be in place shortly and a permanent one is expected next year.
