Some frequently asked questions about malpractice, medical liability, medical records, informed consent, and potential harm arising from healthcare in Panama.
A possible case of medical negligence requires analyzing whether there was an act or omission contrary to the applicable duties of care and whether that conduct may be related to the harm suffered by the patient.
No. Medical treatments and procedures may involve risks and complications even when the care provided was appropriate. Each case must be analyzed to determine whether there are elements indicating possible negligent conduct.
It is advisable to gather the medical record, medical reports, laboratory and imaging results, prescriptions, informed consent forms, medical leave records, and any document related to the care received and its consequences.
Because it contains information about diagnoses, treatments, procedures, and the patient’s progress, making it possible to reconstruct the care received and provide elements for the legal and medico-legal analysis of the case.
Yes. Depending on the circumstances and the procedure performed, it may be necessary to evaluate what information the patient received, what risks were explained, and how their consent was documented.
Depending on the facts, it may be necessary to evaluate both the professional’s conduct and the participation, organization, and provision of services by the clinic, hospital, or healthcare institution.
The applicable legal avenue depends on the circumstances of the case. A possible malpractice case may have administrative, civil, or criminal implications, so it is necessary to review the facts and available documentation beforehand.
