Tervishoiuteenuse osutaja kohustusliku vastutuskindlustuse seadus

This Estonian bill would make liability insurance mandatory for providers of healthcare services. It is a national law passed through the Riigikogu, Estonia's parliament, and was handled by its Social Affairs Committee. Compulsory insurance is intended to ensure that patients harmed by medical treatment can obtain compensation, even when the provider cannot pay directly. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full legislative text. The law would apply to healthcare service providers operating in Estonia, such as hospitals, clinics and other medical practices, which would need to hold a valid insurance policy. Patients who suffer treatment-related injury would be better placed to claim compensation. Insurers and the healthcare sector would also be affected by the new obligations.
