Hearing in 'Oncology' case postponed; next session set for 25 November

The hearing in the case known as "Oncology", which is being held at the Basic Criminal Court in Skopje, was postponed today because Judge Snezana Markovska was absent for health reasons. Court officials announced that the next session will take place on 25 November, following previously scheduled dates.

Previously disputed expert testimony

At the most recent hearing on 5 October, prosecutors challenged the conclusions of the defence expert, Vladimir Danilovski, about the therapy applied to oncology patients.

During cross-examination, the prosecution asked the expert to explain on the basis of which official protocols he grounded his conclusions that the specific therapy had been appropriate.

The indictment accuses the doctors of continued serious offences against people's health and negligent treatment, alleging that inappropriate therapies were applied to a total of 47 patients, with deviations in dosing and without proper assessment of their medical condition.

The court did not provide further details about Judge Markovska's health. The case will resume at the Basic Criminal Court in Skopje on 25 November.
