Summary/Abstract: Malpractice is a relatively recent institution in Romanian law, and can be categorized, at present, as a bitter reality of our society, which is increasingly faced by both medical professionals and beneficiaries of medical services. Unlike other legal systems, in which the term malpractice refers to negligence or incompetence on the part of a professional, in the national legislation we encounter the term malpractice defined in art. 653 of Law no. 95/2006 on the health care reform as “a professional error committed in the exercise of the medical or medico-pharmaceutical act, generating damages on the patient, involving the civil liability of the medical staff and the provider of medical, sanitary and pharmaceutical products and services” . As such, we can say that in the national legislation, when we talk about malpractice, we refer to medical malpractice.
