The Servicio Cántabro de Salud has agreed to pay 219,723.74 euros in compensation to the family of a 24-year-old woman who died in August 2025 following a cerebral venous thrombosis. The settlement follows a diagnostic delay after the patient sought medical attention multiple times for symptoms initially attributed to gastroenteritis.
Between July 20 and July 30, 2025, the patient visited a health center in Suances four times and the Hospital Sierrallana de Torrelavega three times. The health service's recognition of the indemnity acknowledges the failure to identify the underlying condition during these repeated consultations.
