Hospital Staff Negligence
Hospital Staff Negligence That Affects Your Wellbeing
Most people associate medical negligence with the doctor being the one to cause damage or pain to a patient, but hospital staff negligence has been known to be the single biggest contributor to the welfare of patients during their time in a hospital.
Some of the most common cases of hospital staff negligence in South Africa led to the death of newborn babies or the premature release of patients without being given the proper medical treatment needed for a healthy recovery. As you well can imagine such medical malpractice can lead to severe damage to the patient, not to mention the heartache that follows such tragedies.
Another misconception is that hospital staff negligence only occurs in the public sectors. This however is not the case. There has been a number of medical malpractice cases in some of the private medical institutes and clinics where professional negligence led to injury or death of a patient.
