| Popis: | Medical science has witnessed multiple, wanton, intentional and unintentional negligence by practitioners and health care providers, resulting in patient harm. While, many factors contribute to Medical malpractice at various levels; this study is focused on failures around some of the commonest and easily identifiable malpractices, such as displaying important documents and instructions for the benefit of service users, elaborated under the “Disclosure Requirements”. The intent is to generate evidence that failure to comply with legal requirements in medical practice is ubiquitous. In a country where simplest of the simple legal requirements are not complied with, non-compliance to the critical ones that have larger and deeper consequences is but obvious! For instance, the Delhi Nursing Homes Registration Act, 1953 and MCI Code of Ethics Regulations, 2002 mandates hospitals to display their Registration certificates, Rates and charges of the treatments, Consultation fees and Doctors’ qualification conspicuously in the hospital premises. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess compliance to this simple requirement under law, which expects the hospitals in Delhi, India comply to the Disclosure norms. |
