Fewer leg amputations performed at Faroese national hospital

The Faroese national hospital has significantly reduced the number of leg amputations among diabetes patients, according to a report by public broadcaster Kringvarp Føroya.

Jan Rasmussen, chief physician at the hospital’s medical department, attributes the decline to research-based treatment methods. He emphasised the importance of applying scientific findings in clinical practice.

The report highlights improved outcomes for diabetic patients, though no specific figures were provided.
