Dismissals at hospital for death of a boy

As the minister said, the review established found that a number of omissions were made.

“I saw the results and they are not good. Procedures were not followed. I made the decision to remove the hospital director and the chief of surgery. Their replacement is now underway,” Lončar said.

Lončar said that in the case of the boy’s death, the review by the Ministry of Health found that there were no documents that would serve to determine how the boy’s injuries were diagnosed.

The minister of health announced that in the following period measures would be taken to prevent the possibility of concealing errors made by doctors, as well as to prevent colleagues covering for each other.

He also announced that in hospitals in smaller towns were to expect experienced doctors who would supervise the work of the staff in these institutions.

As a reminder, the boy from the village of Kozjak was admitted to the hospital in Loznica after he had broken his arm on a slide and died six days later.

Radenko Nikodinović will be buried today at the local cemetery in Loznica.
