FBK Legal's Partner About Legal Issues in Medicine

FBK Legal’s Partner Alexander Ermolenko has moderated the conference “Legal Issues in Medicine: Regulation and Judicial Practice” arranged by the event-planning agency Sobytiye.

He underlined that we should not forget about a reasonable balance when regulating the doctor-patient relationships. On the one hand, it is necessary to develop medical law so that victims of medical errors could have working compensation mechanisms.?

?On the other hand, we should clearly define criteria of these errors. And liability should not be excessive. Doctors should have a right to risk, otherwise they will stop saving patients and will formalise their relationships with them as much as possible,? said Alexander Ermolenko.

In addition, the conference covered such topics as control over medical activities, disputes with insurance companies, legal safeguards for medical organisations, information security in healthcare etc.
