Financial Authority approves Medical Malpractice Fund
The General Authority for Financial Control has decided to register the "Government Fund for Medical Malpractice Insurance" within the register of government insurance funds. This move aims to organize and provide insurance coverage for risks arising from medical errors and procedures. It aligns with the Unified Insurance Law and the Medical Liability and Patient Safety Regulation Law, and seeks to protect patients' rights while ensuring the sustainability of funding. Insurance premiums for medical professionals and facilities have been determined, with the annual premium for general practitioners set at 240 Egyptian pounds, and 920 pounds for other specialties. The system includes an actuarial study to ensure financial balance, along with provisions for compensation in cases of death or disability resulting from medical errors. Subscription to the fund is a mandatory condition for practicing medical professions or obtaining licenses. The fund operates under the supervision of the General Authority for Financial Control and aims to strengthen the insurance framework and protect the legal and health interests of medical staff and care recipients alike.
