Abstract:
Objective:This paper aims to investigate the awareness and demand for medical liability insurance of doctors, and to provide policy recommendations for the further development of medical liability insurance in China. Method:A stratified random sampling survey is conducted on doctors from a Top3 general hospital in Guangzhou, and the relevant departments and individual doctors were interviewed. Results:The higher the risk in a department, the higher their awareness of medical liability insurance becomes;the longer the length of service for a doctor, the more understanding of medical liability insurance the doctor has. Medical liability insurance is generally supported by doc-tors with a strong willingness of demand, but they opinions on bearing and sharing the insurance premium are quite different. Discussion:Doctors still lack sufficient knowledge of medical liability insurance due to the lack of effective publicity. The structural mode of medical liability insurance is still relatively vague, and the government leadership and market operation ability have a serious shortage. Suggestion:This paper suggest to improve the relevant laws and regulations of medical liability insurance, to strengthen government supervision and publicity, to build a reasonable development model of medical liability insurance in line with the national circumstances, and to strengthen an effec-tive combination of government leadership and market operation.
