The Syndicate of Doctors reviews the demands of the law "Medical responsibility" In front of the House of Representatives
The Syndicate of Doctors confirmed Dr. Osama Abdel -Hai, during his speech to the plenary session of the House of Representatives to discuss the draft medical responsibility and safety law, that there is 4 & nbsp; Basic and necessary axes that must be included in the draft law.
& nbsp;
He pointed out that these axes come as follows:
1. That the Supreme Committee for Medical Responsibility be the technical expert of investigation and courts, and here we thank the Health and Committee Committee because it added this amendment, but in order to ensure the time, effort The link or dismissal of the grievance of its decision.
& nbsp;
2. When the service recipient and the complaint are damaged, it is necessary to distinguish between 3 cases:
& nbsp;
A. The damage is the result of complications known or the nature of the disease, and this is evident in the law in Article 4.
B. The damage should be the result of a medical error that is possible.
C. That the result of a serious neglect, and here the joint committee added the definition of a grave medical error, and if we see that it should be called a serious neglect.
The head of the doctors ’captain explained this point by saying that the medical error contains its occurrence with any doctor who practices the profession, no matter how much his experience is and was committed to all the rules and laws, and whatever the capabilities are available, and it is related to the fact that we are human and the human error cannot be prevented, but the grave neglect is if the service provider that caused harm to the patient committed his mistake and he transcends the laws of the state and the rules of exercising the profession, and here is the right of the patient Society, and here it has a civil responsibility for the patient and the criminal of the state.
Therefore, we see amending the definition of serious neglect, provided that it is exclusively.
3. Penalties:
& nbsp;
The captain of the doctors explained that in the usual medical error, which is made by the committed doctor, the penalty should be compensated only for the damage to the patient, because he was only wrong for the patient and did not make mistakes against the community.
& nbsp;
If the Egyptian law requires the fine so that the victim can claim compensation and the civil invitation, then the fine will be symbolic and ranges between the salary of a month for three months, in order to ensure that the patient can obtain the appropriate compensation and this is his right.
& nbsp;
As for the exaggeration in the fine, that is a punishment for a mistake in the right of society, and it has not committed any mistake in the right of society and the ability of the vast majority of doctors to pay an exaggerated fine.
As for serious neglect, it is a mistake in the right of the patient and the right of society, and he has the right to a fine or imprisonment or both, as the right of society and the right to compensate is appropriate as the right of the patient.
4. Insurance:
& nbsp;
The captain of the doctors stressed the necessity that there be compulsory insurance, a condition for practicing the profession and ensuring the patient’s right to fair compensation in the event of the damage, and in the law a government insurance fund to contribute to the damage to the damage, explaining: & quot; We see that the damage to the damage and the actuarial studies to determine the value of the contributions will be in order to complete the compensation, to ensure the patient’s right, especially & nbsp; On the draft law of medical responsibility and the safety of the patient, in principle during the plenary session today, provided that the draft law is discussed a article during the upcoming sessions on Monday and Tuesday.
