Inspectors of the Federal Administration for Inspection Affairs also entered the premises of the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo this morning. They entered on the order of the SC Prosecutor's Office, whose prosecutors, together with state and SIPA members, also searched the institution yesterday.

- On April 6th, 2021., the Federal Administration for Inspection Affairs received a request from the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office of Sarajevo Canton for inspection supervision and submission of information related to the use of mechanical ventilation devices ACM 812A, hygienic conditions, organization of medical staff and conditions and medical treatment of patients that were diagnosed with COVID-19 at KCUS. Pursuant to the request, the Federal Health Inspectorate started the inspection this morning, and it is expected that within three days we will submit the report on the procedure and the collected information / documentation to the competent Prosecutor's Office for further action - the Federal Administration for Inspection Affairs told „Avaz“.

The search followed after the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office formed a case on the events in this medical institution, which was officially confirmed today by this judicial institution.

Activities at KCUS were launched after a letter from doctors that appeared in public, which spoke about the catastrophic situation at KCUS and stated that "Srebrna malina" respirators could not be used to treat COVID patients.

The prosecution team also included investigators from the Sc Prosecutor's Office and inspectors from the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA), and the entire procedure was led by State Prosecutor Džermin Pašić.
