- Abstract
This article discusses the urgent need for comprehensive data, tort reforms, and cultural transformation to address medical negligence in India and revitalize the healthcare system. It highlights the lack of comprehensive data on medical negligence cases, making it difficult to assess the magnitude of the problem and develop strategies to minimize errors. The article also mentions the rise in medical negligence litigations and the challenges faced by healthcare professionals. It emphasizes the importance of implementing tort reforms and shifting from a punitive to a constructive mindset to foster safe reporting and accountability. The text provides recommendations for addressing the issue, including establishing a national database of lawsuits, studying thematic categorization of claims, implementing a standard procedure for determining compensation, and examining decisions that are overturned to identify shortcomings. Overall, the article emphasizes the need for comprehensive data, tort reforms, and cultural transformation to revitalize the healthcare system in India.
