The Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM) is calling for a swift and thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding a recent death at the Cardiac Surgery clinic. The party insists on establishing responsibility after a patient died with a ruptured aorta.

According to SDSM, it is imperative to determine the precise conditions and circumstances that contributed to this tragic outcome, emphasizing that accountability must follow. The party questions reports that operating rooms were not functional when the critically ill patient arrived at the clinic. They specifically ask why a patient with a ruptured aorta, a condition demanding immediate surgical intervention, was not operated on and was instead sent back.

SDSM characterizes the situation as not merely a health scandal, but also a human and moral one. They assert that human lives should not be lost due to chaos, negligence, and a lack of responsibility. SDSM’s statement concludes by demanding a clear explanation of the case and assigning responsibility for the patient’s death.
