Need some help with this please!
So I’m pursuing a career in a specific medical career and I’d love to one day be able to move to Dubai but I’m a bit discouraged by the fact that doctors can potentially end up in jail for medical malpractice or medical negligence if the worse happens but do you guys know how many years would a doctor go to jail for if the worse actually happens for a mistake he/she made or for negligence? Is there any way to check this online? Are there any official governmental websites that include UAE laws regarding this matter?

You only go to prison here if you don’t use full stops on the patient assessment forms.

It very much depends on who you kill. If it is a local I would suggest that you leave and forget any PI insurance or legal process.
