Challenge
Each of us has the right to appropriate healthcare and care, in accordance with medical standards, so the challenge was enormous, in terms of protecting all patients and consistent action by doctors in accordance with the Law on Health Protection, who are obliged to protect the interests of patients and their health and bear responsibility in the event that good medicine, quality medicine, which is based on the principle that the doctor responds to the patient’s needs, in a timely and correct manner, acting with good intentions.
In order to protect the general health of citizens and their treatment in healthcare institutions, where every day we increasingly see that it is on the verge of humanity, ethics and professionalism, we had to confront the doctor with a harsh reality, which is why criminal charges were filed under Article 207 of the Criminal Code 9 (negligent treatment of patients) because in the specific case of the injured party, the standard of conscientious conduct and due care was violated, the doctor did not act negligently, which caused the deterioration of the injured party’s health condition.
We assessed that it was necessary to satisfy justice on behalf of all who could or have been in the position of the injured party, so that after the criminal proceedings are completed, we could file a claim for compensation.
We filed a claim for non-pecuniary damage for violation of the personal rights of the injured party, to an insurance company with which the Hospital had concluded a general and professional liability insurance policy. The company, extremely professionally, compensated the injured party within the insurance amount, which was not low at all, thus doubly satisfying justice.
And for us, this was a double success, with the hope that such medical errors will not be repeated.
