A new study has shone the spotlight on the corrupt involvement of legal practitioners in illegal and fraudulent acts, and their role in litigation on issues of medical negligence.
“In almost all cases, these legal actions against state institutions have been initiated by members of the legal profession who over the years have taken advantages of circumstances to enrich themselves illegally and immorally. In most instances, they collaborate directly or indirectly with medical or nursing staffs who direct them to existing health problems facing patients.
Furthermore, Professor Mantzaris’ study also highlighted examples of fraudulent medical negligence claims lodged by legal practitioners in provincial Health Departments as reported by the Minister after an investigation. Many of these claims were made in the Eastern Cape, Limpopo, and Mpumalanga.
