Clinical Center of Montenegro fire

Overview

A fire at the Clinical Center of Montenegro (KCCG) damaged four rooms and caused smoke damage to several others. Preliminary investigations suggest the blaze likely originated from old electrical installations dating back to the building’s construction.

KCCG officials clarified that critical high-tech medical equipment, such as C-arm and DEXA machines, was not connected to the old wiring and sustained no visible damage. The center also disputed reports regarding the value of a C-arm device, stating its purchase value was 217,000 euros rather than 400,000 euros.

While medical materials were damaged, the hospital worked to restore functionality. Emergency surgeries were completed, though some non-urgent procedures and polyclinic operations faced rescheduling during the restoration of the Clinic for Anesthesia, Intensive Care, and Pain Therapy, as well as the Operating Block.
