FEATURES OF RESPONSIBILITY OF A MEDICAL ORGANIZATION FOR CAUSING THE PATIENT'S HEALTH

Abstract

The article discusses the particular conditions of holding medical organizations accountable for causing harm to the health of patients. The conditions of civil liability, as well as the degree of responsibility of a medical organization in the provision of medical services, are analyzed. The authors are of the opinion that medical care should be organized in accordance with the procedures, conditions and standards for the provision of such care, however, the standards cannot cover all the options that may arise during the provision of medical care, therefore they are aimed at creating an average “sample”, to determine the approximate order of possible actions carried out by medical personnel. Attention is also paid to the consideration of the features of causing harm to the patient’s health, depending on whether the harm was caused in the provision of medical care or medical services. In conclusion, it was concluded that the conditions for bringing medical organizations to justice should include: unlawful action (inaction), harm, a causal relationship between unlawful action and harm, as well as the fault of the injurer.
