After the death of her son, the Russian woman filed a lawsuit for compensation for non-pecuniary damage. The court found that due to problems with the diagnosis of the head injury that the guy suffered, it progressed and led to death.

An incorrectly established diagnosis led to incorrect and untimely execution of medical measures. At the same time, these defects delayed the start of treatment for head injury, which contributed to its unhindered flow and the progress of complications, the court found.

Having considered the case, the Zavodoukovsky district court partially satisfied the woman's claim for compensation for non-pecuniary damage - the plaintiff demanded 5 million rubles. The court ordered the hospital to pay 800 thousand rubles in compensation for non-pecuniary damage to a local resident, who lost her son due to poor-quality medical care. The hospital does not agree with the verdict of the court.

According to local data, residents of Siberian regions regularly complain about the poor quality of medical care. As a rule, they make official applications to the courts and departments only in the event of the death of relatives. Doctors themselves report that they are doing everything possible in conditions of an acute shortage of personnel.^[1]
