Research Abstract	The number of doctors prosecuted for medical malpractices has risen in recent years, and this has generated concern among medical professionals. In order to establish the appropriate response of the criminal justice system to medical malpractice, we need to create a new investigative committee and restrict the use of criminal sanctions to the serious cases of medical malpractice through increasing the use of administrative and civil sanctions. Comparative studies of foreign legal systems support this proposal.
