This site is dedicated to my son and all the other victims who have been abused, some even tortured and/or perished due to the wrongdoings in the hospitals in Estonia, the member state of European Union.
According to the 2010 study available at Tartu University website its estimated that around 1500 people die in just 1.3 million population Estonia every year due to medical errors - number that as experts claim could be quickly at least halved in case the doctors, health care leaders and government admit the problem and would take relevant steps to avoid it. The study was compiled at Tartu University by doctor Teele Orgse who is supervisor for quality at the hospital in Estonian town Pärnu. The need to start accounting more patients needs and rights was highlighted also recently in article by Estonian Hospital Association head Urmas Sule whose much more modern views differ sharply from still Soviet style minded buraucrats at Estonian Doctors Association that has ignored for long the need to deal with abuse and medical errors.

Patients rights are an essential part of human rights but not in an ex-Soviet country like Estonia. The Soviet era mentality still lives strong in Estonian health instutions and health quality, the country has even no patient rights law, and the most basic human rights of patients are often violated and ignored. The lack of responsibility and the feeling that criminal legislation is not valid for the medical staff in Estonian hospitals has long ago reached the point where it cant be tolerated any more.
