A Lex Maria report has been filed at Länssjukhuset in Kalmar, Sweden, after a care quality failure involving a patient. According to an official source from Region Kalmar län, the report was made by chief physician Gunhild Nordesjö Haglund following the care of a multi-sick patient in their 80s. During the care period, the patient developed pneumonia, and it was reportedly perceived that the patient was under palliative care when they were not, leading to the quality failure.
Measures have been taken to reduce the risk of repetition. The region states that Lex Maria reports are made for serious care injuries or risks thereof, with the aim of learning from incidents to prevent future occurrences. Separately, a private source reports a conflict at the social office in Kalmar, where a high-level manager has been suspended, and employees have raised concerns about a culture of silence and a trust crisis, with an investigation ongoing.

Social chief Anna Hasselbom Trofast reportedly said that everyone respects differing opinions. The sources do not indicate a connection between these events.
