Abstract
When offering healthcare services, healthcare professionals might make mistakes that lead to damage or injury to their patients. In an increasingly litigious world, medical professionals have to take out medical malpractice liability insurance to protect themselves from the possibility of ruinous medical malpractice lawsuits. In some countries, professional liability insurance is mandatory. Medical malpractice liability insurance is a system that indemnifies third parties who might incur damage or losses while receiving medical treatment. This article tries to determine: (i) Do France, Belgium, and Vietnam have medical malpractice liability insurance? (ii) Do France, Belgium, and Vietnam have a legal framework governing medical malpractice liability insurance? (iii) what are some legal/ regulatory challenges affecting medical malpractice liability insurance in Vietnam, France, and Belgium? (iv) What are the insurance principles applied in medical malpractice insurance policies in Vietnam, Belgium, and France?
