Understanding Medical Negligence and Malpractice: Legal Implications in Nepal
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider fails to deliver the expected standard of care, causing harm, injury, or death. In Nepal, such acts fall under Chapter 19 of the Muluki Criminal Code 2074, which defines punishments for doctors, unregistered practitioners, and institutions. Understanding the legal difference between negligence and malpractice is vital for those seeking justice.
