Sažetak
The Osijek General Hospital was founded in 1739. Today, it serves medical needs of aproximately 960,000 inhabitans of eastern Croatia. It has 1606 hospital beds and 2508 employees of which 332 are doctors. During the war of Serbia and the Yugoslav Federal Army against Croatia, in the time period from June 27 to September 1991, the Hospital was attacked from the neighboring Army garnison. The garrison was just across the street, at a distance of 50-100 meters. The heaviest attacks occurred between September 14 and September 17, 1991. At the time, the Hospital was hit 56 times by mortar shells, 21 times by tank shells, 17 times by rockets from multiple rocket launcher, and many times by bullets from light weapons.
