Here are 2 new updates related to Professional Indemnity Insurance in India for doctors in May 2024:

Increased Focus on Medical Malpractice Prevention: The Indian government has announced a renewed focus on medical malpractice prevention, with a special emphasis on educating doctors and patients about the importance of medical malpractice insurance. This move aims to reduce the number of medical malpractice claims and to promote a culture of accountability among doctors.

Healthcare Professionals Registry for Verification: The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has advised insurance companies to capture the identity (ID) of medical practitioners from a repository for verification while issuing or renewing health policies. This move aims to enable seamless, cashless functioning of outpatient treatment (OPD) across the country and to avoid medical malpractices under professional indemnity cover.
