Right to Complain and to Compensation| ESTONIA
| GENERAL OVERVIEW | BIOMEDICINE CONVENTION | EU MEMBER STATES | TYPES OF PATIENT RIGHTS LEGISLATION |
| Independent review of complaints of patients and compensation for damage due to malpractice is only possible through the court system which is expensive and time consuming. There is no state mechanism to get a compensation for damage of malpractice. Due to these reasons there are only very few malpractice cases in Estonia. |
