Questions & Answers
What is the impact of a patient complaint on the license of the doctor?
In a case of a complaint filed against a doctor as the patient was unable to move one finger after stitch was put to close a wound, the MOH medical committee gave the verdict that:
There was a damaged tendon as part of the original injury sustained by the patient. This was missed by the doctor while putting the stitch.
Hence,
1. There was negligence from the doctor
2. There was a medical error
We are now waiting for the penalty assessment for this verdict. How will this verdict/penalty affect the UAE General Practitioner license of the doctor?
Hello,
As per your query please note that you have to place a negligence claim as per the medical report before the court of law, in the form of a monetary claim, and also to suspend the GP license from the authority.
You can file a civil case for a compensation claim against him.
We deal with such kinds of cases.
