Doctor's liability for patient's death

04.12.2025 10:40 • Question

I read the news that a seven-year-old boy died in Kyiv during a dental operation due to the administration of anesthesia, which could not be used during his illness. The anesthesiologist has already been suspected of improper performance of professional duties. What exactly can be the consequences for a doctor in such cases and are doctors always really held accountable if a patient dies during an operation due to their actions?
