The UAE's updated medical liability law will reduce errors at hospitals and clinics.

That's according to the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP), which says it'll also help strengthen the country's health sector.

The updated law will also develop a mechanism for investigating medical professionals and pursuing civil liability insurance against errors.
