Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A hospital has admitted "serious deficiencies" in its gynaecology department linked to the deaths of two women who underwent routine operations. A review was ordered at Grimsby Hospital following 13 complaints over 20 years against Michael Muldoon, a now retired consultant gynaecologist and obstetrician.
The review, which yesterday made 51 recommendations for improving the department, said that the death of Kay Hallberg, 40, could have been avoided, and that in the case of another patient, Carol Richardson, 35, Mr Muldoon "should have received further training in the surgical technique before undertaking it on his own".
