Medical Malpractice
Protection for healthcare professionals against the financial impact of negligence claims and the cost of defending them.
Healthcare professionals face a rising tide of litigation. Medical malpractice cover protects practitioners and practices against the financial impact of negligence claims — both the damages awarded and the significant legal costs of defending a claim, justified or not.
Who needs it
General practitioners, specialists, allied health professionals, clinics and day facilities all carry exposure. Cover is structured around your discipline, procedures performed and patient volumes, with attention to the claims-made nature of the class — retroactive dates and run-off cover matter, and we make sure they are right.
Westwood places malpractice risks with insurers who specialise in the South African healthcare environment.
