The article explains that fatalities resulting from medical errors and neglect in Syria are increasing, with cases reported across various regions including Damascus and Deir ez-Zor. Medical mistakes have led to deaths and serious injuries, such as a girl who died after a cosmetic surgery and another person who was injured following a gallbladder operation. Syrian law does not have specific legislation concerning medical errors; instead, it relies on the Medical Professions Practice Law. There are three legal pathways for addressing these errors: criminal prosecution, civil liability and compensation, and disciplinary responsibility within the medical association. A doctor's liability is based on exercising care in accordance with scientific standards, not guaranteeing recovery. Workshops are being organized to develop the legislative framework and improve the protection of patients’ and medical personnel's rights, aiming to reduce medical errors and clarify responsibilities more effectively.
