Zagreb's KB Sveti Duh hospital sustained damage in Tuesday's earthquake, the situation was dramatic because some patients were in labour and surgeries were underway, and we are now 100% focused on taking care of patients, hospital director Mladen Busic told state agency Hina.

Busic said that KB Sveti Duh hospital was ready to take patients from Sisak and they are waiting for information on that.

“The City of Zagreb and all of its health capacities will be maximally available to everyone in need of medical care,” he said.

There are no injured in the KBC Sestre Milosrdnice hospital, there is minor material damage, and most patients who left the building during the earthquake have returned to the hospital, Davor Vagic, advisor to the KBC’s director, told Hina.

The hospital’s buildings are still being checked, but according to available information the damage sustained is not significant, Vagic said.

As for the Arena Zagreb sports hall, which has been turned into an inpatient clinic for COVID patients, it is stable and the patients are safe, he added.

Vagic said that the KBC Sestre Milosrdnice was ready to help the rest of the hospital system as much as possible.

The hospital is also absolutely prepared to take patients from Sisak and Petrinja but a decision on that will be made by the national crisis response team and the Health Ministry, Vagic said.
