HOSPITALS
In Spring
1992 the public-health service in the Old Town was shelled. In May 1992
the State Hospital was intensively shelled and it was hit by more than
200 shells during the siege. The victims were patients. The Kosevo clinic
suffered the same fate. Its operating theaters and intensive care units
were hit. The hospitals were usually shelled with plated shells which
would pass through several rooms. The patients were often evacuated and
the surgeons frequently performed operations without electricity or water,
using candles and five-liter canisters. Hundreds of citizens were admitted
to hospitals each day.
