Nowadays considering that the compensation to be paid in the presence of medical malpractice is serious, it is prominent for physicians to have professional liability insurance. The table created by comparing the number of all physicians in Turkey and the number of coverage belonging to professional insurance for medical malpractice, It shows that the number of coverage belonging to professional insurance is far below the number of physicians. Considering that a policy has more than one coverage in some cases such as dual specialization, it is concluded that a significant number of physicians do not have professional liability insurance, which has become compulsory since 2010.The fact that physicians have more information about the physician professional liability insurance, which is mandatory to be made, will reduce the victimization of medical malpractice and the presence of medical malpractice and the tendency to defensive medicine which is harmful to the health economy.
