★ABOUT THIS ONLINE TALK

在面对医疗失误时，许多病人和家属常常感到无助与绝望，不知道该从何入手。事实上，医疗疏忽并不只是医生口中的一次“意外”，而是关乎病人权利与公正的重要问题。本次讲座将以简单明了的方式带您了解什么是医疗疏忽、病人或家人该如何采取法律行动，以及如何为自己或家人争取合理、公正及公道的赔偿。

这将是我们首次以中文举办的医疗疏忽法律分享会，专为以中文沟通的病人而设，帮助更多病人和家属以自己最熟悉的语言了解法律权利与维权途径。

如果您或您的亲人曾因医疗问题遭受损害，这是一场不容错过的分享会。

When faced with a medical mistake, many patients and their families often feel helpless and unsure where to begin. In truth, medical negligence is not merely an “accident” by a doctor — it is a serious issue involving patients’ rights and justice. In this session, we will explain, in clear and simple terms, what constitutes medical negligence, what legal actions patients and/or their families can take, and how to pursue fair compensation and accountability for yourself or your loved ones.

This event is our first Mandarin-language talk on medical negligence, specifically to help Mandarin-speaking patients and families understand their legal rights in a language they are most comfortable with.

If you or someone close to you has suffered harm due to a medical issue, this is a session you should not miss.

The talk will be delivered over video conference using Zoom.us. You can either view the talk from your web browser or download the Zoom app.
