Medical Negligence in Kenya: Patient Rights & Doctor Protection With Wakili Ngugi

Description

Malpractice. Negligence. Patient rights. Doctor Protection.These are words we hear thrown around, but do we know what they actually mean, whether you're the one seeking care or the one providing it?In this episode, Wakili Ngugi joins us to break down medical law from both sides of the table. We unpack how courts determine accountability when a procedure goes wrong and who ends up paying, alongside practical ways doctors can protect themselves through proper documentation, following guidelines and understanding indemnity insurance. We also cover the patient rights you may not know you have, including informed consent and your right to emergency care, and why some of these rights remain difficult to access in practice.Whether you're a patient wanting to understand your rights, a healthcare provider wanting to protect your practice, or simply curious about how the law intersects with medicine, this video is for you.Listen in!How To Reach Us:📧 Email: sifahope93@gmail.com📱 Instagram, TikTok & LinkedIn: @adoseofhealththepodcastConnect with Our guest:📱Instagram: & Tiktok: @wakilingugiProduction by: ⁨@artlightstudios⁩ ⚠️ This content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical or legal advice.
