Ethics Governing Medical Negligence in Clinical Practice

Hizbullah Khan, Neelam Saleem

Abstract

Despite of having appropriate theoretical knowledge, practical skills and competency are necessary for a doctor to perform certain procedure, and if he is not capable of doing the procedure properly and still proceeds for it, this can be counted in malpractice or medical negligence. Any healthcare worker needs to be honest and accountable, and must not violate the ethical boundaries.
