A 79-year-old patient died at the hospital in Beiuș, the family accusing the lack of medical assistance.

The case of a 79-year-old patient who died at the hospital in Beiuș has sparked controversy after the family accused a lack of medical assistance. The woman was initially admitted to the orthopedic department but was transferred to the surgery department, where her daughter found her in a serious, unkempt state and with breathing difficulties.

The autopsy showed that the death was caused by cardiac arrest, resulting from an untreated illness. The family filed a complaint with the prosecutor's office, and the hospital initiated an internal investigation, sanctioning the surgeon with a 25% salary reduction for a period of six months. The case has drawn the attention of the authorities and raised questions about the quality of medical care.
