Abstract
In the context of Indonesia, medical malpractice is a serious concern
because of the large number of cases that have been reported and become news
material in the mass media. An example of a case that reflects the complexity
of this problem occurs in the MAKASSAR District Court decision Number 1441/Pid.Sus/2019/PN
Mks. In this case, the medical treatment failed completely, causing Agita to
become permanently blind in her left eye. Agita reported this incident to the
police. In its decision, the Makassar District Court stated that Dr. Elisabeth
has not been legally and convincingly proven that the person is guilty of
committing the crime as stated in the first and second indictments. The results
of this research indicate that there are several legal bases that support legal
protection for doctors suspected of committing medical violations. Health Law
Number 17 of 2023 has many articles that regulate legal protection for doctors.
Some dispute resolution processes are fair legal processes, appeal and
cassation mechanisms, protection of doctors' rights, and compliance with
operating standards. Solutions to the Problem of Legal Protection for Doctors
Who Perform Medical Procedures in the Context of Medical Malpractice include:
Alternative Dispute Resolution, Legal Protection for Whistleblowers, Protection
for Doctors and Health Workers, and Training and Increasing Awareness.
