SANTACRUZ VELEZ, María Auxiliadora; ALVAREZ PACHECO, Juan Carlos; PEREZ YCAZA, Juan Carlos y CASTILLO GALVIS, Sergio Hernando. Medical liability for malpractice, analysis in the Education of Physicians and Lawyers in Ecuador. Conrado [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.91, pp. 350-357. Epub 30-Abr-2023. ISSN 1990-8644.
In the Ecuadorian legal system, medical malpractice entails civil, criminal and administrative liability for the physician who commits it. The objective of this research was to determine the scope of the same, with the purpose of determining if the current norms effectively allow guaranteeing a comprehensive reparation to the victims of medical malpractice and their families. For this purpose, the qualitative method was used, and a compilation, review, analysis, systematic reading and interpretation of the information obtained from normative and doctrinal sources was carried out. The results of this research show that the current regulations guarantee full reparation for the victims when it comes to material damage; however, it is insufficient with respect to non-material damage.
