A law regulating medical liability and patient safety has been published in the Official Gazette that, among other provisions, establishes a government insurance fund.

The fund is to cover risks arising from medical errors, either directly or through contracting with one or more insurance companies or an insurance pool approved by the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA), reported Amwal Alghad.

The law, published on 29 April 2025, states that the insurance fund covers death, disability and bodily injury suffered by the recipient of the medical treatment, in accordance with the provisions of the insurance policy issued in this regard. The Fund shall pay the compensation amount based on an amicable settlement in accordance with the provisions of the law or a final court ruling on the compensation value.

A decision shall be issued by the FRA’s board of directors to determine the terms, controls, categories and prices of the insurance operations covered by the fund. The fund shall be subject to the oversight and supervision of the FRA.
