Hundreds of doctors and midwives have signed a protest letter in response to the dismissal of Karin Pettersson, the head of maternity care at Karolinska University Hospital.

Pettersson was terminated for what the hospital described as 'severe disloyalty' to the employer.

However, staff members, including midwife Maria, believe that the firing was unjust, arguing that Pettersson has been incredibly loyal to the institution.

This incident has sparked a significant outcry among healthcare professionals, raising questions about the management and policies of one of Sweden's leading hospitals.
