Tengrinews.kz - A paramedic has been brought to trial for refusing to hospitalize a patient, citing the press service of the Kosshy Court in the Akmolinsk region.
The court in Kosshy examined the criminal case against the paramedic, finding him guilty of failing to provide medical assistance to a patient without valid reasons, which resulted in serious harm to the patient's health.
The court established that the paramedic, identified as A., responded to a call from a woman, U., who complained of heart pain. He did not provide appropriate medical assistance and refused to transport her to the hospital for hospitalization. Subsequently, the patient had to go to the hospital on her own, where she was diagnosed with ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, and a state following clinical death.
The paramedic's guilt was supported by expert conclusions, testimony from the victim and witnesses, acts mandating the paramedic to urgently transport the patient to the hospital, and other case materials.
In determining the sentence, the court considered the young age of the offender and that this was his first criminal offense. The court sentenced A. to three years and six months of restriction of freedom and revoked his right to provide medical services. The court also issued a special ruling to the regional health department, highlighting serious violations by emergency medical staff that resulted in serious harm to the patient's health, urging appropriate measures to be taken.
The court ruling has not yet entered into legal force.
The sentencing was announced in the presence of medical staff from the regional emergency medical station, the Akmol substation, and the Kosshy city clinic.
Earlier, on September 10, another paramedic faced trial for improperly handling a call received at the "103" service, which led to serious harm to a woman's health. The dispatcher had received a call from a patient with a history of hypertension who complained of chest pain. The paramedic misclassified the urgency of the call and redirected it to a clinic, leading to a year and six months of restricted freedom with probation for the accused.
