A woman recovering from leg amputation at Hutt Hospital in 2022 was repeatedly harassed by a confused male patient, including unwanted touching, watching her during care, and making sexual comments, despite multiple safety measures.
The hospital failed to ensure her safety, according to the Health and Disability Commissioner, citing unclear staff instructions and inadequate risk management.
The woman’s family removed her early due to distress, and she later developed PTSD.
The hospital apologized, acknowledged the failure, and committed to improved training, ward layouts, and security systems.
