Main Article Content
Abstract
The current study aims to conduct a review of the adequacy of Libyan health law to hold people accountable and reduce the errors of health practitioners, and the study population was represented by "all employees of Tripoli Medical Hospital and Zintan Court of First Instance," and the sample number reached 302 health practitioners. The researcher used the descriptive analytical method, and she attempted to answer the research's main question, which is "How a health practitioner can hold people accountable?" The researcher took into account the scientific criteria in selecting the sample, and the exploratory study was conducted to ensure the validity and stability of the study tool, in which he relied on the scientific questionnaire, and the researcher used the appropriate statistical operations relying on the SPSS programme in the process of analysing the results, also relying on the discussion of the results on the scientific, academic, and field references of the researcher related to the subject of the study. The results of the current study found that the participants in the study have confirmed that custom and habit are sometimes taken into account in addressing the errors of health practitioners, and these results obtained the highest degree of acceptance among the participants, while they were followed by the participants' assertion that there are internal regulations and laws in the Ministry of Health on which to base dealing with cases of medical errors, while the results showed that there is a practise of investigating cases of health practitioners' errors regardless of their cause from the participants' point of view, and who They further affirmed that the existing Libyan health law is not sufficient to punish the practises of health workers when they err and that accountability mechanisms are not accepted and satisfied. The results on the axis of the mechanism of assisting the Libyan health law in reducing medical errors also showed the importance of educating health practitioners in scientific seminars or educational lectures about the duties, obligations, and regulations imposed by the Libyan health law and the need to work on developing laws periodically in line with the developments and problems that occur in this field to protect the patient from medical errors and the law.
