01 . Professional Indemnity Definition
What is Medical Malpractice Insurance?
Medical Malpractice Insurance (also recognized as Medical Professional Indemnity in Kenya) is a specialized commercial liability policy designed for medical practitioners and healthcare facilities. It covers financial losses resulting from legal claims alleging medical negligence, clinical errors, omissions, or a breach of professional duty that leads to patient bodily injury, psychological trauma, or death.
In Nairobi County’s modern and highly litigious medical sector, a single adverse claim can derail your career or cripple your facility financially. This policy acts as a vital buffer, absorbing immense legal costs and compensation payouts so you can continue practicing with confidence.
