The Plenary approved the Draft Law 3331/12, the Executive, which increases the penalty for institutions and professionals conditional emergency medical care to any kind of financial security (deposit-check or promissory note). The matter should be further examined by the Senate.
Currently, this practice can be classified as negligence or failure to save, but there is no explicit reference as to the urgent health care. The project characterizes this conduct as another crime, to "condition-hospital emergency medical care."
The penalty proposed for the new offense is imprisonment for three months to a year and a fine. The penalty will be increased to twice the negative of care result in serious bodily injury, and even triple, if it results in death.
Today, the punishment provided for failure to save is an arrest of six months or a fine, increased by half, if it result in serious bodily injury, and tripled in the event of death.
