Medical Liability of Healthcare Professionals Under Omani Law : A Primer
The OMJ is Published Bimonthly and Copyrighted 2020 by the OMSB..
Professionals in healthcare face, not infrequently, medical liability issues in their practice. Worldwide, patient safety has become a major medical, legal, ethical, political, and economic concern. Oman has witnessed a leap in its medical and legal spheres over the last half a century. Developments in healthcare services in the country have taken place in parallel with developments in legal awareness regarding patient safety and bodily integrity. However, many healthcare practitioners remain unaware of medical liability essentials in their daily practice. Neither basic medical education nor professional development education incorporates medical law in general and, specifically, medical liability in their courses and curricula. Hence, this article attempts to present the essentials of medical liability in healthcare practice in accordance with existing Omani legislation. It defines medical liability and identifies four types of liability that healthcare practitioners might be prone to penal, civil, disciplinary, and administrative liabilities. Each of these forms of liability is discussed with examples illustrating it from enacted Omani laws. This paper concludes by recommending a further focus on medical law in basic and professional education of healthcare practitioners in Oman.
