| dc.description.abstract | There have been numerous accusations of medical malpractice leveled against health professionals and health institutions in Ethiopia, but most of the time those allegations failed to be addressed due to a variety of factors. This begs the question of what prevents victims of medical malpractice from seeking justice. Are the difficulties related to the regulatory regime governing medical malpractice, the litigation system, or the victims' lack of knowledge? Or are they related to establishing the fault in medical services and substantiating those claims with clear and sufficient evidence? Can these issues, if they exist, be effectively addressed? This thesis investigates the laws and practices that govern various issues of medical malpractice and their effectiveness in responding to medical malpractice claims. It attempts to trace the difficulties that victims of medical malpractice face in accessing justice and makes recommendations that are pertinent to responding to claims of medical malpractice. | |
