Pelvic mesh inquiry results said to “vindicate” patients

It’s understood that the results of a pelvic mesh inquiry are set to “vindicate” patients who have been complaining of issues for years.

According to the Daily Mail, a review from the Independent Medicines And Medical Devices Safety is set to be published soon.

Sandwell and West Birmingham Pelvic Mesh Claims

You may recall the Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust pelvic mesh issues involving former patients of Dr Angamuthu Arunkalaivanan that triggered a significant recall.

It’s an issue that dates back from a few years, so most patients will have received their recall letters and any additional steps that needed to be undertaken should have been done so. However, if some patients experience problems a long time after the recall notification, there may still be time left to claim.

We must stress that you must contact our team ASAP to determine if you are still in time, though. But, since we have resolved legal action that we have taken for this issue, we wanted to remind those who were affected about their rights to pursue compensation.
