RF IC and the Russian National Medical Chamber all can not agree on the latest amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation concerning certain aspects of medical practice. The last decision in this area: the introduction in the near future Art. 124.1 titled "Inadequate health care (medical services)." However controversial it remains one of the points relating to the death of a human fetus as a result of the provision of medical services and / or serious bodily injury.
Russian National Medical Chamber is opposed to innovations in the field of destruction of unborn embryos, asserting that of committee investigators do not always afford to understand and with sufficient accuracy to establish whose all the same wine in the death of the fetus was in every case. The same diagnosis of "perinatal hypoxia," can be caused by dozens of reasons and nuances that are completely unrelated to any action or inaction of obstetricians. It turns out that health care providers will be punished in fact nothing.
Investigation Committee of the views of the doctors do not share. Here we believe that medical experts are able to accurately and reliably establish a causal relationship between the actions / inaction of the doctor and fetal death. Today, if the embryo is dead, is not separated from the mother's body, investigators are forced to discontinue criminal proceedings against the doctors, because in the current Criminal Code there is no corresponding article. Death until the birth of criminal impunity, and RF IC believes it is fundamentally wrong.
However, the current level of development of the Russian prenatal diagnosis is low, so when making a new article from time to time will inevitably suffer the innocent. What to do? Many believe: the investigation of professional errors should be handled by the medical community, not the investigating authorities. It is the same (Community), as is common in developed countries, should bear its fair verdict, until the ban on professional activity.
Leonid Roshal, head Natsmedpalatu today, I'm sure: the prosecution of each case of fetal death should not be. Otherwise, how to deal with those women that decided to have an abortion? Punish? Or not? And as long as this issue is not solved, neither the doctor should not be in prison for complications of pregnancy, until proven direct intention to do so.
