The Ministry will call on the University Clinical Center of Ljubljana to conduct an internal review

DeloIndependent🔒CenterNov 4

The Slovenian Ministry of Health has requested an internal audit at University Clinical Center (UCC) Ljubljana regarding alleged failures to report patient safety incidents. This action follows an anonymous letter from staff detailing accusations of psychological violence, unsafe working conditions, and improper HR practices within the neurology clinic, including claims that a patient died due to lack of monitoring. While the ministry noted that new hospital leadership has the opportunity to improve organizational relations, it emphasized that professional services were aware of issues dating back to 2014. In response, 108 employees of the neurology clinic signed a statement rejecting the anonymous allegations, asserting that their work is professional and that they maintain established quality processes. UCC management stated they learned of the specific accusations through media reports and denied claims linking current department heads to past court-verified cases of mobbing.

Bias read (Center): The article maintains neutrality by presenting the Ministry’s regulatory actions alongside direct quotes from both the anonymous accusers and the collective defense issued by hospital staff and management.

The Slovenian Ministry of Health has requested the University Clinical Center (UKC) Ljubljana to conduct an internal audit regarding alleged failures to report safety incidents on the neurology clinic. This action follows an anonymous letter from staff detailing accusations of psychological violence, patient endangerment, improper HR practices, and issues with annual bonuses between 2014 and 2023. The letter specifically cites a patient death where monitoring was allegedly neglected, though management claims they were aware but did not file formal deviation reports. While a request for extraordinary administrative oversight was submitted, the Ministry decided against it, citing the new leadership's responsibility to improve organizational relations and communication internally. In response, 108 employees of the neurology clinic signed a statement rejecting the anonymous allegations, asserting that their work is professional and that individual disputes do not justify public discreditation of the entire team. UKC Ljubljana management stated they learned of the specific claims through media reports and denied the accuracy of the anonymous letter, including references to past legal rulings.

Bias read (Center): The article maintains neutrality by presenting the Ministry's regulatory decision alongside direct rebuttals from both the hospital administration and a large group of affected staff members.
