1
س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
في سنة 2015 كانت ابنتي تعاني من حمى شديدة ودخلت علي أثرها مستشفى في دبي.
وبعد 16 يوماً، تدهورت حالتها للأسوأ مما أدى إلى دخولها في غيبوبة وشلل حركي واضطرابات في المخ والأعصاب خلال تلك الفترة وتم تحويلها إلي لندن للعلاج.
بدأت في التحسن نسبياً وتدهورت حالتها خارج البلاد ولكن لم أعرف سبب تدهور حالتها إلى هذا اليوم، والآن تم وقف علاجها في الخارج.
للعلم بأنها أجرت 3 عمليات جراحية كبيرة في 10/1/2019 ولديها مراجعة في 10/6/2019 واللجنة الطبية ترفض استكمال علاجها في الخارج.
السؤال، من الجهة المسؤولة عن الضرر الذي لحق بابنتي علماً بأنها كانت سليمة ودخلت المستشفى تمشي علي رجليها، والآن هي مشلولة حركياً؟ وهل هذا خطأ طبي أم لا؟
أفيدوني وجزاكم الله خيراً

الإجراءات المطلوبة لتقديم شكوى خطأ طبي

2
س: تحياتي
والدتي أصيبت بانسداد في الأمعاء، تم عمل أشعة بعدها بينت وجود كيس في الحوض بجانب هذا الانسداد.
بعد أن حل الانسداد تلقائياً، قامت طبيبة النساء بعمل أشعة تلفزيونية بعدها وفحص لعلامات السرطان وأخبرتنا أن المشكلة هي كيس في المبيض ونحن بحاجة لإزالة المبيض عبر عملية مفتوحة.
بعد العملية أخبرتنا أن المبيض سليم والمشكلة في قناة الفالوب. لكنها لم تزلها لأنها لم تأخذ موافقة عليها من أمي، و لم تسأل أي فرد من أهلها للتوقيع على الموافقة بل أغلقت الجرح فقط.
الآن هي بحاجة للعملية مرة أخرى لإزالة قناة الفالوب لكننا مستاؤون من تعريض أمي لعملية لم تعالج مشكلتها بسبب تشخيص خاطئ. ولا تستطيع عمل عملية الآن إلا عندما يلتئم الجرح.
ما الطريقة المناسبة لرفع شكوى على الطبيبة؟

Medical negligence and legal remedies in Dubai

Q: Good morning,
I had two surgeries two years ago. After the first one, I needed to have another one based on lab results. After the second one, I developed severe complications (the doc briefly mentioned it on the consent and I signed it).
I was misdiagnosed twice at ER at two different hospitals and was only diagnosed overseas while on holiday. I required surgery, however, it didn’t help and two months later I had another surgery in Dubai.
Again it was unsuccessful and I had another surgery two months later. This year I had another surgery.
The complication from the original surgery is severe and lifelong and I’m facing so many difficulties. Every doctor I saw after that said they did a very bad job and it’s extremely hard to fix it.
Lab results from the original surgery say that all the tissue they removed was healthy and nothing was found. However, the doctor removed a big part and now I’m facing problems.
I need an advice if I should file a formal complaint with the authorities.
Thank you

هل يحق لطبيب ثبتت براءته مقاضاة المشتكي ومطالبته بالتعويض؟
3
س: السلام عليكم،
اشتكى شخص طبيبًا لدائرة الصحة مدعيًا وجود خطأ طبي حصل في علاج ابنه وذكر في شكواه أن ثلاثة مراكز طبية أقرت بوجود خطأ طبي. حققت دائرة الصحة وأرسلت لها المراكز الطبية الثلاثة أنه لا يوجد أي خطأ طبي وأن الطبيب المُشتكَى ضده عالج بمهنية عالية ولم يحدث منه أي خطأ وتقرير الصحة متوفر.
بعد صدور التقرير وفوات مدة الاعتراض أو الاستئناف تمت معاتبة المشتكي فقال أنه رفع شكواه ضد المركز الطبي وليس الطبيب، ولكن اسم الطبيب هو الوحيد المذكور في التقرير والوحيد المُشتكى ضده.
السؤال: هل يحق للطبيب مقاضاة المشتكي ومطالبته بالتعويض؟ وما المدة بعد صدور التقرير؟
نأمل في ردكم.
وشكرًا!

Medical treatment provided to patients does not always achieve the desired results, and sometimes it may lead to catastrophic consequences that cannot be remedied. This is due to several factors, some of these factors are related to the therapist or to the patient himself, or even related to God's will. It was, therefore, necessary for the legislator to intervene and develop the laws governing medical malpractice cases and set the limitations of liability for the therapist in such cases.

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now? 0
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.

I purchased an apartment, but the previous landlord refuses to vacate. What to do? 0
Hello,
I bought an apartment, but the previous landlord is refusing to vacate it. The contract clearly states that the landlord should hand over the apartment on the day of the transfer.
Out of courtesy, I gave him three days to vacate so he could find a new place to stay, but the time has passed, and he is still refusing to vacate and hand it over.
What should I do in this case?

Can we give a salary certificate to a new hired employee before he starts to open a bank account? 0
Dear lawyers,
The new employee will start on June 1, 2025. However, he would like to open a new bank account in the UAE thus asking to provide the salary certificate mentioning his salary in AED and if possible not mentioning the start date.
Legally, can the company provide such a certificate?

View allAssistance with clearing a police case and lifting a travel ban in the UAE 0
Good day!
I have rental disputes and got a settlement plan 8 months ago.
But I did not pay the settlement because at the moment of applying for the settlement plan, I had a job offer and lost it because of the travel ban and the visa could not be processed.
I have another personal police case where I already paid an amount of 18,000 and the claim was 40,000 dirhams. Now that I did not continue paying, the plaintiff put the case again.
I have another offer letter now and I want to get a clearance certificate within 48 hrs, or else I might lose this job as well.
Kindly advise

I bought a new vehicle from the dealership with a hidden defect. What can I do? 0
I bought a new vehicle from the dealership [-----] and after 5 min of using the car, an alert popped up. Less than 24h later I informed the dealers of the issue.
After struggling with them about it, I finally brought the car to service at their company and they have confirmed the part needs to be fully changed.
I’m telling them I cannot accept a faulty car and demand either a refund or another vehicle. So far they’ve been less than cooperative.

How to know the judgment when the portal says "decided"? 0
Dear sir/madam,
There is a case against me in a commercial, full-jurisdiction court. Sorry if I'm getting this wrong. I have not participated in the case and on the advice of my UK lawyers, I have not been represented there in Dubai.
Upon checking the portal, it says a judgment was reached yesterday, but I can't see further details. So my questions are:
1) Do judgments happen behind closed doors or in front of the lawyers? (the plaintiffs have lawyers)
2) How long does it usually take for the verdict to be public and for me to see the outcome of the case?
The only thing it says online is the word "decided".

Is it mandatory to visit the CID in person to update my records? 0
Respected Advisors,
I have been involved in a few criminal cases since 2017, but all of them were cleared by this year. I have obtained release letters for all the cases from the public prosecution office through an online portal.
Recently, I also received my residence visa. After the visa process was completed, I applied for a PCC online. However, the request was rejected.
I contacted the 901 office, and they advised me to visit the CID. I arranged for a power of attorney to be granted along with all the necessary documents to update the system.
Twice I was told to come in person, but I am hesitant to do so because of my previous negative experience.
Could someone please advise me whether I must go in person or if the person holding the power of attorney can handle the process?
Thank you!
