More on Improvment of Health Law
The article analyzes the relevant judicial practice on compensation for moral and material harm due to a medical error. We have carried out a comparative legal analysis of similar cases in foreign countries. The study revealed a conformity between the existence of an institution of compulsory professional liability insurance and the level of compensation for moral damage. We studied a number of draft laws, particular attention was paid to earlier scientific publications, since the discussed problem had been developed for a long time and many lawyers saw the same way of its solution. Taking into account the opinion of individual scientists, we pointed out the necessasity to issue a federal law, which would establish the obligation of medical workers to insure their professional responsibility, and regulate the relations arising in this connection.
