Medical negligence is alarmingly the third leading cause of death in America

Medical negligence is alarmingly the third leading cause of death in America, following heart disease and cancer. A study by Johns Hopkins University in 2016 highlighted that medical errors contribute to over 250,000 deaths annually, making it a significant public health concern . Factors include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and improper medication administration. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) earlier estimated in 1999 that up to 98,000 deaths were due to medical errors . These staggering numbers underscore the urgent need for systematic reforms in healthcare practices to enhance patient safety and reduce preventable deaths attributed to medical negligence.
