Summary/Abstract: The medical and the legal fields are sciences between which the causal relationship can sometimes be difficult to identify for lay people. In a context in which globalization is a phenomenon, the populations are aging, in addition the difficulties created by the pandemic period, so the medical services are increasing exponentially compared to these conditions, therefore the medical staff is facing more and more situations in which medical malpractice is invoked. Incuring the medical liability of the doctor and of the employing unit is justified by the regulation in the Romanian Constitution of the right to health, but, equally, they must be offered professional independence through the compulsory insurance of professional medical malpractice, also meant to protect the patient.
