Dr. Ahmed Taha told Egypt's obstetrics and gynecology conference that quality standards and the medical liability law jointly protect patients and care providers.
- Taha spoke in the "Legal Medical Responsibility" panel at the 22nd conference of the Egyptian Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
- Taha said GAHAR's quality standards, internationally accredited by ISQua, and the liability law form an integrated system protecting patients and providers.
- Taha said patient harm does not automatically mean professional error; fair assessment reviews all stages of care against professional criteria.
- Taha said some incidents stem from institutional deficiencies such as faulty equipment, infection-control failures, or weak team coordination, not individual doctor negligence.
