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
4
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.

Is it mandatory to visit the CID in person to update my records? 2
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!

How can the heirs of a deceased person distribute his shares if there is a minor? 1
My father died recently. We are Muslim residents in Dubai. I have siblings including a minor who is 16 years old. My father has land and vehicles under his name.
If I am applying for inheritance, does the minor need to have a share in ALL the properties and vehicles or can she be given a particular property/vehicle?
Secondly, if we want the land to be in her name, and she manages it (like renting and bank), does it require an adult?
Can the vehicles be transferred to someone else’s name without including her?
Your guidance will be very much appreciated.

Senior executive unfairly dismissed: How much compensation to claim? 2
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have been unfairly dismissed (it's personal on their end) and have been given only two months' salary apart from the compulsory gratuity and notice pay.
I would like to claim more than two months as I am a senior executive (Director).
Up to how much should I claim, and would this be a realistic amount for me to "win"?

Can we file a claim against an employee if he caused a financial loss to the company? 2
There was a legal action against an employee who failed to participate in an international event in Saudi Arabia due to a family issue that resulted in a travel ban, which in turn led to the non-signing of an AED 100,000 deal resulting in a loss to the company.
- What legal grounds exist for the employer to pursue legal action against the employee in this scenario?
- Does UAE labor law provide any specific guidance or remedies for such situations?
- What are the desired outcomes or remedies the employer can seek through legal action?
- Are there any potential legal consequences or liabilities for the employer in pursuing this case?
- What documentation and evidence are needed to support the employer's case?

What are my options if my husband is refusing to pay child support? 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
What are the charges to open an execution file in Sharjah for a divorce case and how much time will it take to execute the court order?
My husband told the court that he does not have money to pay for me and my daughter's expenses because he is earning a minimum amount in which he can only survive.
In that case, what can I do?
He closed all his bank accounts and sent money to his parents in India. He also told me that he will show in court that he does not have a job or money, so the court or police cannot do anything to him.
Can you please guide me on what I can do in this case? I do not have any proof of his salary or bank account because he was not informing me about anything related to his financial matters.
In fact, he was forcing me to ask my parents to send money to us. Because of no proof, the court agreed with him and rejected my appeal. I do not have a job and I am struggling for basic expenses.
Can I request the court to inquire about his gratuity and end of service?
Or can the court ask him to submit proof of the money that he received from his company, as he was working for 30 years in the same company?
