Recently, a series of complaints from families of injured victims about the mistakes of doctors during the medical examination and causing serious consequences, leading to death occurred, therefore, doctors and hospitals must pay compensation. However, many families of the injured victims are not satisfied and upset with the compensation.
The question arises if the clinics have professional liability insurance for physicians, nurses ... , insurance companies will handle the settlement of compensation claims, so that the complaint is not resolved with emotional factors, patients are not disadvantaged as now, doctors and patients have peace of mind in healthcare. However, most of the private institutions, hospitals reluctant to buy this kind of insurance.
