In Pechenga CRB, the patient for several weeks could not receive normal care

In the Pechenga Central District Hospital revealed violations in the provision of medical care to a patient with peptic ulcer disease. Roszdravnadzor in the Murmansk region announced a warning to the medical institution.

The reason for the inspection was an appeal to the prosecutor's office of the Pechenga district. Roszdravnadzor specialists studied the explanations of the hospital and the materials of internal quality control of medical care.

According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the patient was taken to the surgical department of the Pechenga CRB on April 29, 2026 with suspicion of gastric and duodenal ulcer, possible penetration and moderate anemia. The surgeon examined her only the next day, and the FGDS conducted only on the sixth day of hospitalization. Between April 30 and May 4, there was no specialist in the hospital to conduct the study.

In addition, the patient did not do a number of envisaged diagnostic studies, including ultrasound of the abdominal organs, a review radiography of the abdominal cavity and analysis of feces for hidden blood. Also, an X-ray of the stomach and duodenum was not performed in case of impossibility of endoscopic examination.

On May 4, the patient’s condition was complicated by a gastrointestinal bleeding clinic, after which she was transferred to intensive care. At the same time, the medical commission of the hospital pointed to the shortcomings of maintaining medical records and problems in the work of the endoscopic service, but, as established by Roszdravnadzor, did not assess the organization and quality of care provided according to current criteria.

In connection with the revealed violations, Roszdravnadzor demanded to strengthen control over the quality of medical care, ensure its provision taking into account clinical recommendations and prevent such violations in the future.
