In the early hours of Saturday today, a man broke into medical premises at the Multi-profile Hospital for Active Treatment “St. Ivan Rilski“ in Razgrad“, BTA reported.
A signal was filed with the police, and the teams responded immediately and through their timely assistance, the identity of the perpetrator was established, and he was later detained.
This was reported to BTA by the executive director of the hospital, Dr. Stanimir Georgiev. He explained that the man had been admitted as a patient to the emergency department. After being examined by the doctor on duty, instead of leaving the hospital, he entered the building and went up to the top floor. He managed to break into the office of the Regional Medical College of the Bulgarian Medical Union in Razgrad. He also entered the therapy room in the neighboring ward, where there are no medical personnel on duty.
The director of the hospital in Razgrad said that since today is a day off, only an inspection was made by the on-duty staff, and at first reading no shortages were found inside the rooms. “There are no medicines or expensive medical equipment in the premises. They are only on-duty rooms, where there are items of no valuable nature“, said Dr. Stanimir Georgiev. According to his information, the man is not from Razgrad and has committed other crimes of a similar nature during the day.
Dr. Georgiev said that this is the second consecutive case of a criminal incident on the territory of the “St. Ivan Rilski“ Hospital in Razgrad within a week. A few days ago, citizens who came to the emergency department for an examination, after aggressive behavior, attacked a nurse on duty in the department. They almost reached the doctor on duty, but police officers intervened there and once again prevented a more serious incident.
On his own behalf and on behalf of the hospital management, Dr. Stanimir Georgiev expressed gratitude to the teams of the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Regional Department of the “Police“ in Razgrad for their quick, timely and professional intervention in the incidents on the territory of the hospital. “We are convinced that with joint efforts we will continue to uphold the security of the medical institution and the trust of the patients“, added Dr. Stanimir Georgiev.
