The Brunei Medical Association (BMA), in collaboration with Insurans Islam TAIB General Takaful Sdn Bhd, held an event on ‘Professional Indemnity Takaful for Medical Malpractice’ on Thursday at Badi’ah Hotel.
Acting Medical Superintendent and Consultant in Infectious Diseases at Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha Hospital Dr Hajah Riamiza Natalie binti Haji Momin was the guest of honour.
The event provides coverage for healthcare professionals and healthcare entities against claims of negligence or errors in the provision of medical services.
Medical malpractice takaful is vital for the protection of healthcare professionals and organisations against financial and reputational risks relating to malpractice claims.
Some of the key aspects typically covered are liabilities, medical incidents, peer review and good samaritan acts.
The coverage is expected to be launched later this year. – Adib Noor
