Responsabilidad en el ámbito de la prestación de servicios médicos: la experiencia de Eslovaquia

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to identify the positive experience of Slovakia in the field of legal liability of medical workers, which has been successful in practice and therefore worth following, both in Ukraine and in other states. To achieve this purpose, general and special scientific research methods were used, in particular dialectical, historical-legal, systematic, and comparative legal methods. The legal regulation of liability for the provision of medical services constantly generates debate in scientific circles and in practical implementation. The legislation of Ukraine does not regulate concepts such as medical mistakes and medical crimes. The lack of regulatory criteria for medical mistakes and crimes, the difficulty in determining the cause and effect relationship, as well as the need for professional supervision in the provision of medical services, encourages the study of foreign experience, mainly theexperience of the European Union Member States in this field
