  "account": "A mother in Prague suffered burns during a caesarean section at Bulovka hospital on August 25, according to the hospital and local media reports. The newborn infant was unharmed in the incident. The hospital spokesperson, Eva Stolejda Libigerova, stated that the woman is currently in stable condition, requiring only standard ward care. The exact nature of the burn injuries, which reportedly affected her genitals, thighs, sides, and lower abdomen, remains undisclosed. The incident occurred due to an unexpected fire caused by disinfectant used during the surgery. The mother has been transferred to another Prague hospital with a specialized burn unit for further treatment and will later return to Bulovka. This is not the first incident of negligence at Bulovka hospital; in 2024, the facility apologized for an abortion performed on the wrong patient after a mix-up, for which they compensated the woman and had the case dismissed by the police.",
