Doctor's Error

"A new study has found that hospitals could cut surgery complications by about 30 percent and resulting deaths by 40 percent if doctors and nurses follow a checklist of safety rules before, during and after performing surgery."

The World Health Organization wants to implement this list of 19 steps to take from observations from about 7,688 patients. 234 million majors surgeries are performed every year around the world.
