On Wednesday, Brno City Council announced the selection procedure for a new director of Brno’s Trauma Hospital, which has been managed by Zdeněk Buštík for the last five years. According to a statement by Deputy Mayor Petr Hladík (KDU-ČSL), the City’s reasons for replacing the current management are the worsening economic situation of the hospital and a case of alleged serious negligence on Friday, when three young women came to seek help in the hospital with suspected cases of coronavirus. Hospital staff reportedly sent the three students to the Infectious Diseases Department of the University Hospital in Bohunice by taxi, though this story has not been confirmed by the hospital director or the Minister of Health.
