China to Formulate New Rules on Medical Accidents

Chinese patients will have more freedom to choose experts to judge who is responsible for medical accidents, according to latest report.

Medical-accident disputes are judged by experts from local hospitals who may have relations with the hospitals. Their judgments are invariably biased.

"Victims and their relatives have lodged bitter complaints against such practices, which have become much louder in recent years," said the "China Quality News".

After exhaustive consultation with experts concerned, the Ministry of Health seems to have made up its mind to replace the 12-year-old medical-accident-handling rules with new rules expected to be issued in October.

Other rules have also been changed. Medical records long monopolized by hospitals will be within the reach of patients and compensation for the medical accidents will be raised.
