New Findings on Insurance from Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy Summarized (Study On Medical Malpractice Insurance In Romania): Insurance

2023 FEB 06 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health Policy and Law Daily -- Current study results on Insurance have been published. According to news reporting from Timisoara, Romania, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Malpractice insurance -professional liability insurance -is a subject of interest in both the medical and legal areas. It has a dual protective role: for the practitioner and for the patient.”

The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy, “Our study aimed to analyse the legal provisions in Romania on medical malpractice and malpractice insurance and how they are reflected in insurance contracts. Six professional liability insurance contracts for medical specialties offered by insurance companies operating on the Romanian market were analysed for the proposed study. The legislation governing the medical field stipulates that malpractice insurance is mandatory, but insurance companies only cover certain damages and the contracts analysed have different clauses. The different clauses in insurance contracts can make it difficult for the doctor if he or she does not have sufficient knowledge.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “The medical system needs to be shaped by legal provisions that outline a well-defined legal framework so that potential problematic situations are covered by law.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
