Molly Cuddihy

Molly Cuddihy is a former patient at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH). She is newsworthy because she contracted a bacterial infection at the hospital while undergoing chemotherapy in 2021. Cuddihy testified at the Scottish hospitals inquiry, describing the severe symptoms she experienced and stating that the hospital environment made her sicker. The recent news articles highlight the ongoing investigation into patient deaths at QEUH due to infections linked to the hospital's water supply and ventilation system. The articles emphasize the delayed acknowledgement of the issues at the hospital, which Cuddihy sought recognition of during her testimony. Her case is relevant as it underscores the severity of the infections and the impact on patients, contributing to the public scrutiny and demand for accountability surrounding the hospital's infection control practices.
