The general objective of the research was to legally analyze the objective duty of care in medical malpractice crimes. The present research used the quantitative method which produces descriptive data, originating from data collection. It was supported by the documentary-bibliographic review. In addition, the inductive-deductive method was applied. The analytical-synthetic method was also used. It is concluded that the institution of the objective duty of care and of the negligent offense in general, has little development in the norms contained in the Organic Integral Penal Code. Fundamentally, the assumptions of the crime of culpable homicide due to professional malpractice require a clear description based on the universal theory that has allowed its evolution, a situation that demands from the judge a special preparation in criminal law in its general part.
