Diploma in Understanding Medical Negligence and E-Pharmacy Law in India

Medical negligence is the negligent act or omission on part of a medical professional which causes injury to the patient and gives rise to a legal cause of action against such medical professional for deviating from the standards of medical profession. As the awareness of medical negligence is growing in India, so are the number of cases filed against hospital management and doctors.

Another aspect of medical profession that has gained significant momentum, especially in times of COVID-19 is e-pharmacy. E-pharmacy operates over the internet, accepts orders for medicines and pharma products on its web portal, and dispatches the ordered items to the customers by its own or through third-party logistics service providers.
