Medical malpractice liability insurance (MMLI) is one type of professional liability insurance that protects healthcare professionals from liability associated with wrongful practices. This paper analyses and compares the laws of four countries (Belgium, France, England, and Vietnam) on the frameworks of MMLI such as insurable interest, insured risk, insured premium, indemnification, and the third party to find out the similarities and differences of the laws of the four countries and make suggestions to improve the Vietnamese law on MMLI. Comparing the systems of MMLI in Vietnam with the nations is to be aware of the different and similar regulations. The results from this study may help Vietnam to study and improve more about the following rules through the models of MMLI of the countries.
