Health law is a legal discipline that groups matters separated from civil, criminal, administrative, and social security law, its omnipresent element being all public or private health activity as a connecting link.
As lawyers specializing in medical negligence, we know the problems of patients and relatives who are victims of medical malpractice and we know that there is no type of compensation that can repair the sequelae caused or the loss of our loved ones due to health negligence.
However, in our country, when damage is caused to patients due to negligent action in the health field, such damage must be compensated by those causing the damage, through the only compensation system currently contemplated: Compensation for medical negligence.
Therefore, those responsible for causing damage to patients (Hospitals, doctors, health personnel, health administrations or insurance companies) due to lack of diligence, must respond with compensation that covers the injuries caused.
Also of special relevance is the issue related to the statutory relationships of health professionals with the public administrations for which they perform their functions, and which can suggest important and recurring controversies in terms of remuneration or working conditions (schedules, administrative saturation, if not disciplinary procedures)
