Abstract
A patient’s right to compensation for irregular medical treatment exists exclusively against the medical institution whose worker caused the damage. Only the institution can be sued, not the medical worker directly responsible for the damage. That standpoint has been valid since 1962, namely since the enactment of the GCL. Until that time the judiciary had answered in a negative way to the issue of responsibility of medical institutions for damage caused by medical treatment, since there were no grounds for such litigation in the existing laws.60
