A woman in the Czech Republic suffered a miscarriage after doctors mistakenly performed an operation on her, confusing her with another patient at Bulovka University Hospital in Prague. The pregnant woman had come to the hospital for a routine examination and was deemed healthy. However, during the same period, another patient arrived at the clinic requiring an operation that can be used for treating diseases of the uterus and terminating a pregnancy. Both patients were foreigners permanently residing in the Czech Republic but their names were not disclosed.
The hospital started the operation with the wrong patient due to a failure to comply with internal regulations. The hospital apologized to the patient who lost her fetus and promised to provide compensation. The doctors responsible for the mistake were suspended, and an internal investigation was initiated by the hospital.
The Czech Ministry of Health expressed regret over the incident and labeled it as an “unforgivable human factor.” The individuals responsible for the mistake will be suspended from work. The Czech police have begun investigating the incident and have called on both women involved to come forward and provide their accounts.
In summary, a pregnant woman in Bulgaria suffered a miscarriage after doctors mistakenly performed an operation on her, confusing her with another patient at Bulovka University Hospital in Prague.
