The Patient Insurance Association is responsible for managing the part of the law that deals with injuries occurring in connection with a treatment in the public and private healthcare system.
We also address drug injury cases, i.e. cases where patients are injured because of adverse reactions to the medicines they take.
The Patient Insurance Association determines whether a patient should be compensated, but the regions pay the compensation.
The same is true of medicine injuries, for which the Ministry of Health and Prevention pays the compensation.
