Fewer places on BUP in Gothenburg after mold infestation

The premises were considered a temporary solution when they were built in 1983. Now, after patients and staff at the child and adolescent psychiatry clinic in Gothenburg experienced breathing difficulties and nosebleeds, the facility is moving out of the moldy building. The solution: new temporary premises and fewer beds.

Moisture damage, bad air and mold infestation – this is what has happened in Bup's premises at Östra Hospital in Gothenburg. The Swedish Work Environment Authority has announced that the premises are no longer allowed to conduct any business and the building is expected to be empty on Friday. – You shouldn't have to be treated in a hospital and feel worse, says Josefine Bergsten, the Health Care Association's safety representative.
