To guarantee the protection of the patient and to defend his rights, the ERMES Association (Medical Error in Healthcare) offers an absolutely free consultation with no obligation for the evaluation of the medical damage, for the sole purpose of informing the person concerned about the possibility to request compensation for medical liability.
