Doctors may experience serious problems with patients in some cases, and these problems may lead to some lawsuits. About two months ago, we shared with you our interview with the doctors who immigrated to Germany and were preparing to emigrate.
Doctors stated that malpractice cases posed great difficulties for them. Today, Health Minister Dr. Fahrettin Koca shared the new decision regarding malpractice cases. Let’s look at the details of the decision and Koca’s explanations together.
In malpractice cases, the state will undertake the compensation unless there is an intention!
Before moving on to the explanations of Health Minister Koca, let’s briefly talk about what malpractice lawsuits mean. These lawsuits are the names given to lawsuits filed when doctors are thought to have made a wrong decision. When faced with a medically incomplete or incorrect treatment or surgery, patients can file a lawsuit against the doctor for material and moral compensation. Although this litigation system, known as
malpractice lawsuits, was focused on protecting patients’ rights, the failure of the doctors who did their best to convince the patients on this issue could cause the doctors to face lawsuits. For this reason, a bill was recently presented to the parliament. Health Minister Dr. Fahrettin Koca, with his post on Twitter today, announced that the draft law in which the state will pay the compensation for malpractice cases unless an ‘intentional’ mistake is encountered.
However, the necessary compensation for ‘deliberate’ errors during treatment and surgery will continue to be paid by the health workers who are complaining about. In this way, both the rights of our healthcare workers who do their best and the rights of patients in this regard were protected.
