50% of medical complaints end in conviction.
Round table report "Murder or medical error".
Mehdi Sani, the prosecutor's investigator for medical crimes, said at the Insaf news "homicide or medical negligence" round table: last year, 50% of the number of complaints filed against doctors resulted in convictions. That is, 50% of the complaints filed against doctors in the judicial authority lead to a conviction and the committee blames them.
He emphasized that this 50% is not the amount of medical negligence; Because many medical malpractices are not claimed at all; Either people don't realize it was medical malpractice or they realized it but didn't want to file a complaint.
Sani also said: "If the medical patient did not die, even if he suffered the most severe injury, for example, his spinal cord was cut, we have no punishment other than the payment, which is also covered by their civil liability insurance." Therefore, since the punishment has no deterrent effect, the impression is created that the complaint will not succeed.
