The Ministry of Health of the Stavropol Territory is checking the quality of medical care in the Georgievskiy District Hospital. The check is carried out on the basis of information published in the media about the discovery of pressure sores on the patient’s body, who spent more than a month in this hospital.
The deputy head of the regional health ministry had already left for the place, and she talked with the doctors of the district hospital and with the patient herself. After the inspection, the Ministry of Health of the Stavropol Territory promises to take “administrative and organizational measures” so that this does not happen again in the future.
Meanwhile, the investigative department for the city of Georgievsk has already opened a criminal case for negligence.
According to the investigation, the 59-year-old woman was in the intensive care unit of the hospital from March 16 to April 27. During this time, bedsores (soft tissue necrosis) formed on her body. The investigation believes that this was due to the negligence of the medical staff of the district hospital, who did not take care that the patient did not lie in one position.
