An incident involving the handling of a fetus at the Peja Hospital in October 2022 has led to a lawsuit filed by the affected family. The legal action targets both the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kosovo and the General Hospital in Peja. According to documents obtained by Insajderi, the case centers on a patient identified as M.
Z. During a gynecological examination on October 13, 2022, it was determined that the fetus lacked a detectable heartbeat. Following this medical finding, the patient was transferred to the obstetrics ward at the Peja Regional Hospital.
Around 7:10 PM that day, the deceased fetus was reportedly removed through a surgical procedure. The family has subsequently filed a lawsuit, demanding compensation from the state institutions involved. The nature of the incident has drawn significant attention, particularly due to allegations surrounding the post-procedure handling of the remains, which reportedly involved a washing machine at the facility.
The lawsuit alleges a severe lapse in care and protocol within the hospital setting. The core dispute revolves around the sequence of medical care provided at the Peja hospital and the subsequent treatment of the deceased fetus. The family’s legal representatives are seeking financial compensation stemming from the circumstances surrounding the medical event and the alleged mismanagement within the hospital environment.
