Summary/Abstract: Legal and judicial shortcomings of the domestic justice system are undeniable given that in recent years the European Court of Human Rights has repeatedly found the Romanian state guilty for violating several articles of the European Convention. Numerous convictions have been given in medical malpractice cases developed in sanitary facilities that have resulted in injuries of body integrity or death of the patients concerned. Even though the Romanian state has solved most of the problems it faced at the time of the facts and which have, in fact, led to violations of citizens' rights, as found by the Court, there are still issues for which no solutions have been identified.
