REGULATORY AGENCIES AND QUALITY

Introduction
The future of health care and other related fields depend on the quality of care. The
quality of care plays a major role in developing trust between health workers and patients. The
era of the introduction of medical malpractice is a drawback to the health sector as well as the
state's economic growth. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen the various regulatory bodies
that have emerged to deal with malpractices in the medical field. Every state ought to adapt and
appreciate the work of the regulatory bodies by backing them with the necessary support that
these bodies need. This paper describes the evolution of malpractice in the medical field and how
the various regulatory agencies monitor the quality of care within the health sector.

the regulatory bodies were developed to monitor the quality of health care so as to ensure that
there are full compliance and provision of safe health care to the clients who have access to the
health care system (Marjoua, & Bozic, 2017). The regulatory bodies monitor the work of the
medical practitioners and the health care system to ensure the provision of high quality and safe
healthcare to the patients.
The evolution of medical malpractice dates back to many years that are justified by the
