The Types of Medical Negligence are:

• Misdiagnosis: Occurs when a healthcare professional incorrectly identifies a patient’s condition, leading to incorrect treatment or delayed treatment for the actual condition.

• Delayed Diagnosis: Involves healthcare providers failing to diagnose a condition promptly, which can allow the illness to progress and potentially worsen.

• Wrong-Site Surgery: When a surgical procedure is performed on the wrong part of the body.
• Surgical Instruments Left Behind: Surgical tools or foreign objects being unintentionally left inside a patient’s body after surgery.

• Anaesthesia Errors: Mistakes in administering anaesthesia can result in adverse reactions or complications during surgery.
• Prescription Errors: Incorrect medication or dosage prescribed to a patient, often leading to harmful side effects or inadequate treatment.

• Radiological and Imaging Errors: Errors in interpreting X-rays, MRIs, or other diagnostic images, which can result in incorrect diagnoses or delayed treatment.

• Failure to Refer to Specialists: Healthcare providers may fail to refer patients to specialists when needed, which can delay proper diagnosis and treatment.

• Birth Injuries: Injuries sustained by a newborn or mother during childbirth due to medical negligence. Examples include cerebral palsy or shoulder dystocia/erb’s palsy.
