Extraordinary inspection of the death of the 14-month-old baby at the Children's Clinic

The State Health and Sanitary Inspectorate announces that it will carry out an extraordinary inspection in the Children's Clinic and in the PJU UK for respiratory diseases in children Kozle, because there a baby died whose parents claim that he was refused hospitalization even though they took him to the Children's Clinic several times.

As Sloboden Pechat reported, a 14-month-old female baby died early this morning at the Clinic for Children's Diseases in the "Mother Teresa" Clinical Center in Skopje. As indicated by anxious sources working at the Clinic, the baby was refused several times for hospitalization, although the parents took him to the hospital. He was always discharged home, without being hospitalized. Seeing that they were refused hospital treatment, the parents took him to the Kozle Clinic, from where his condition worsened and only then was he admitted to the intensive care unit of the Children's Clinic. Apart from some of the employees, the father of the deceased girl, R.S., confirmed this for Sloboden Pechat.

He told Sloboden Pechat that he has a video recording of a doctor, which he recorded last night at the Children's Clinic, in which he asks the doctor if his child could have been saved if he had been hospitalized in time, to which the doctor gave him an affirmative answer. The father was extremely upset and as he himself told us, this morning he broke the computer with his head at the Children's Clinic, after which the police came. According to his words, he found understanding from the police officers, because they also asked why the baby was not hospitalized in time.

In a telephone conversation with Sloboden Pechat, the father added that the baby's body has been submitted for an autopsy and that he will prosecute those responsible for this tragedy. Sources from the clinic unofficially say that the baby was admitted with severe tachycardia, with 70 percent saturation, and the given diagnosis was broncholitis, that is, massive bronchopneumonia.

- We took her to the Children's Clinic three times, all the time they told us, send her home, send her home, send her home. Then from Kozle, where they kept my daughter, they transferred her to the Children's Clinic for hospitalization. This morning around five o'clock they didn't say what was happening, they didn't give any information. Only then I see, deceased. My brother and I were there for three days, the whole time they told us that she is fine and take her home, there is no need to keep her here. I have a recording of the doctor where I ask him if you had kept my child here, there would have been salvation for him, and where he says, "There was salvation, but it was not accepted". The police were there this morning, because I broke the computer with my head in full stress, what are they waiting for, to bring flowers?, said the father of the deceased 14-month-old girl, R.S. for the Free Press.

DSZI says that they will do the supervision in the presence of the doctors.

In order to determine the truth about possible omissions in the treatment, the supervision will be carried out in the presence of the responsible persons in the health facilities as well as the doctors who participated in the previous provision of health care. The provided medical documentation and the statements of the health workers will be forwarded to the Minister of Health and the formation of a commission for expert supervision will be initiated, according to the State Health and Sanitary Inspectorate.
