Abstract

Medical malpractice liability insurance (MMLI) is one type of professional liability insurance that protects healthcare professionals from liability associated with wrongful practices. This type of MMLI can cover a result of bodily injury, medical expenses, and property damage, as well as the cost of defending lawsuits related to such claims. The frameworks of MMLI of the countries such as explanations, insurable interest, insured risk, insured premium, indemnification, and the third party will be analysed and compared.  Comparing the systems of MMLI in Vietnam with other countries-Belgium, France, and England- is to be aware of the different and similar regulations. The results from this study may help Vietnam to study more through the models of MMLI of Belgium, France, and England.
Keywords: Indemnification, insured risk, medical malpractice liability insurance insured p, third-party
