Brazilian medical privacy and malpractice rulings
Overview
Courts in Brazil have issued separate rulings regarding medical liability and privacy. In São Paulo, a court ordered the Santa Casa Misericórdia de Atibaia to pay R$ 20,000 in moral damages to a man after medical photos documenting a severe injury were leaked without authorization.
In Natal, a civil court ordered a surgeon and a private hospital to pay R$ 20,000 in compensation to a patient who suffered a third-degree burn from an electric scalpel during a cyst removal surgery. The ruling allocated R$ 15,000 for aesthetic damages and R$ 5,000 for moral damages, addressing the permanent scarring and impact on the patient’s quality of life.
