Dr. Nasser Zakaria Abu Rumman, lawyer, published a book entitled “The Responsibility of the Doctor for the Actions of Assistants”, a book that speaks of the responsibility of the doctor for the actions of his assistants, and the responsibility of the management of hospitals for the medical error of their staff.

Dr. Nasser Abu Rumman, a lawyer and researcher in the field of medical liability, says that the reasons for his choice of this topic are the novelty of the doctrinal and judicial handling in various countries of the world for the responsibility of doctors for the actions of his assistants, and the responsibility of managing the hospital for the medical mistake of its employees, as well as the limited research in this regard in Arab countries.

Abu Ruman adds that this study aims to reduce irresponsible practices affecting the recipients of the service. By raising the level of legal protection, with guarantees for patients in the event of any error by medical assistants and hospital staff, Without losing sight of the importance of upgrading health personnel, by determining each party’s liability in the event of damage, all of which are within the framework of scientific foundations and clear medical procedures.

In Abu Ruman’s view, this author is important; It stems from the fact that she looks at the manifestations of mistakes of medical assistants and through them she seeks to be a credible provider of the literature of protection against errors of conscience.

He also said that he had touched on France’s health-care system, particularly ways of protecting assistant doctors, doctors, health institutions and sick victims from reimbursement costs for medical errors.

Regarding the author’s practical concerns, Abu Ruman says: “The tremendous progress in the field of medicine has had its repercussions on the responsibility of hospitals, doctors and surgeons. Cases where their responsibilities arise have increased, this phenomenon began with the early twentieth century, increased in the last 40 years, and the number of cases against them has increased.”

He also adds: “There are several reasons for explaining this increase in the field of medical responsibility. Some are due to medical development itself, others to increased social awareness. And this tremendous progress in the art of therapeutics and surgery has led people to care for their health and safety, In the field of medical development, highly complex technical devices and means have been invented And this was reflected in the diminishing role of an individual doctor in the patient’s life to be replaced by a medical cadre. no longer confined to the wound alone. In addition, the anaesthetist and a staff of assistants participate in the operation within the corridors of the general or private hospital; Medicines, equipment and machines are used, all of which require the specific responsibility of these parties. They have interlinkages with each other and overlap their respective functions “.

Abu Ruman continues: “Two very important issues arise in this regard that are imposed by practical reality and should not be neglected.”

The first issue is the need to include the subject of medical authorization by specialized doctors to their medical and nursing assistants, in order to identify who is responsible for compensating for the injury caused by the assistant’s fault. For example: In some cases, the patient has to go to a hospital in the emergency department, his condition may require surgical intervention, as a result of which a member of the medical staff, a doctor or assistant (an instrument of surgery) may forget about complications with the patient. However, as a result of not knowing who did the work, it is difficult to prove the fault by any of these, and thus the right to compensation is lost, especially if we know that most surgeons are on temporary contracts with these hospitals, and this issue can be overcome if there is authorization for the work.

The second issue: as a result of deficiencies in legislation on medical liability, which in turn deprives interested States of attracting patients from various parts of the world, thereby depriving these countries of a substantial source of income, may help to transfer them to the profile of attractive States in the field of medicine, especially if we know that the benefits of therapeutic tourism in a State such as the ” (2011) is equivalent to only US $2 billion, a low rate if compared to other countries in the same region, Most of the world’s countries require that their patients be sent for treatment in other countries. s Rights “, which includes special provisions for the protection of victims of miscarriages, as well as insurance for such errors to ensure compensation for those affected s health “, be it damage from doctors themselves or their assistants from other cadres.

It is worth mentioning that Dr. Nasser Zakaria Abu Rumman, is a lawyer and researcher in the field of medical responsibility, and has many research advice in global fields. He holds a bachelor’s degree in law from the Arab University of Beirut/Lebanon, and a doctorate in civil law with a very good recognition from the University of Cairo.
