Law on medical malpractice is necessary in Moldova, say the Moldovan doctors who participated in a meeting with Romanian colleagues. 

Moldovan doctors claim that at present, any medical mistake is being examined by prosecutors, not by specialists.

Moreover, the legislation does not clearly define a medical error. Thus, specialists risk being criminally unmotivated.

In Romania, the Law on Malpractice exists in 1997. If patients are not satisfied with the services provided by healthcare workers, they can file a complaint with the College of Physicians.

At the meeting, the Association of Moldovan Medical Workers signed a collaboration agreement with the Romanian College of Physicians for exchange of experience in the field.
