The girl died at 4 hours and 38 minutes.
“Based on the clinical course and the received autopsy findings we are of the opinion that the unfavorable outcome was due to severe perinatal asphyxia of the fetus and massive aspiration of meconiuma, and the consequent occurrence of bilateral pneumothorax and bilateral suprarenal hemorrhage. The presence of a subgaleal hematoma was also verified,” it is written in the conclusion of the forensic pathologists.

This serious problem has attracted the attention of not only citizens, but also competent institutions, and the number of accusations of inappropriate behavior of medical staff in delivery rooms is showing a worrying increase.
The case of the doctor from Sremska Mitrovica, whose actions were investigated by the inspection of the Ministry of Health, is in the public’s focus.
