Hospital Errors??

We all know that our only hospital, Belau National Hospital, is one of the most modern and comprehensive hospitals in Micronesia. However, there have been error cases that are not publicly acknowledged. For example: this year alone I have known 4 people (close relatives) that have been given false information because their blood samples. Somehow their samples have been mixed up with other people's. How scary is that! If this would have happened in the U.S., there would have been a couple big lawsuits. What do you have to say about this? Should we just put it under the table and hush hush; or is there something that should be done about it and how?
