Spanish courts have issued rulings against regional health services regarding medical negligence and malpractice.

In the Valencian Community, the High Court of Justice ordered the regional Health Department to pay 100,000 euros to the family of a young woman who suffered irreversible brain damage following an allergic reaction. The court found the medical examination at the Ibi II Integrated Health Center was ‘deficient’ and ‘scant,’ resulting in a ‘loss of opportunity’ for the patient’s improvement.

In Andalusia, the Almería Court of First Instance ordered the Andalusian Health Service to pay 348,684.45 euros to a patient who suffered a stroke during a vascular tumor procedure. The court ruled there was a breach of the ‘lex artis’ due to insufficient resources to manage foreseeable complications and a lack of signed informed consent.
