    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Bioethics
    • Health Systems Research

    Background:

    • Professional negligence is typically viewed as individual lapses in duty by healthcare providers or facilities.
    • Existing frameworks often overlook systemic negligence, a more pervasive issue impacting health systems, especially in developing nations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define and delineate systemic negligence within health systems.
    • To highlight the moral imperative for recognizing and researching systemic negligence, particularly in developing countries.
    • To underscore its significance for patient safety, health system performance, and the social value of health.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis and delineation of systemic negligence.
    • Review of literature on health system failures and negligence.
    • Argumentation for its inclusion in bioethics and public health research agendas.

    Main Results:

    • Systemic negligence is conceptualized as a pervasive neglect, distinct from isolated medical errors.
    • Non-medical factors like socio-political will significantly contribute to systemic negligence.
    • It acts as a potent barrier to patient safety and erodes accountability in health systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Recognizing and addressing systemic negligence is vital for improving patient safety and health system performance in developing countries.
    • Research on systemic negligence is morally important for bioethicists, public health researchers, and health activists.
    • Tolerance of systemic negligence devalues health as a social good and necessitates urgent attention.
