Medical insure on medical errors

In recent years, legal literacy Muscovites progresses. And they are increasingly serving lawsuits unskilled medical care. Some claim satisfies the court. As a result, hospitals and clinics have to pay large sums to victims, too much for their budgets. True, the possibility of medical malpractice insurance in the law states so far only declaratively. Detailed mechanism can be developed only after the federal legislation will be displayed. Official statistics of medical mistakes are often unavailable. According to the organization "The League advocates for patients, over the past four years in Moscow were examined 91 criminal and 45 civil cases filed against doctors. According to human rights defenders, to prove the guilt of doctors is very difficult. In addition, the federal law is now missing, the term "medical error". There is only the concept of "negligence", which can be punished for corrective labor or a fine. In rare cases - a suspended sentence. Because of gaps in federal law for doctors convicted today we can not always apply strict measures. Often have limited administrative penalty - confirms the head of the Department of Health in Moscow Andrei Seltsovsky. - But, to my knowledge, the Health Ministry introduced in mid-February, the State Duma of the Federal law on professional liability and medical patients' rights. If the law is accepted, we will be able to talk more specifically about how the insurance will be professional mistakes of doctors and pharmacists. While the Moscow city government only makes a formal proposal to the Russian government on the introduction of insurance of this kind. In some foreign countries, by the way, such insurance - is necessary. The question of who will finance the cost of insurance, have not even discussed. Overseas insurance paid, as a rule, the doctors themselves. If the municipal hospital, most of the money takes on the municipal budget. In the Moscow Law on the Protection of Health "There are other safeguards for human patients. In particular, the patient can choose a doctor (but only if the doctor does not take itself against that client) and the medical establishment. Patients have the right to invite the House, "the cleric of worship." Child under 15 years may be in the hospital with one of the parents. In general, all these norms and today spelled out in federal law on health care. But in practice are not always realized. In most metropolitan children's hospitals, for example, parents are physically no place to place. In confined spaces there is no space for extra beds and cots. Children under 3 years (from large families - 18 years) is guaranteed by the free provision of medicines prescribed by doctors. The law also stipulates that an ambulance and emergency medical service in Moscow turns out to all patients regardless of their residence, citizenship, and the availability of health insurance policy. Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov ordered the developers of the law to supplement it with another section - "Medicine and Sport. It will be prescribed standards of medical and biological support of athletes. According to officials, at their spodvigla this tragic loss of 19 year-old hockey player Alexei Cherepanov, who during the match stopped heart. The investigation of this case it turns out that Alexis gave Anti-Doping Agency banned drugs.
