Medical dispute resolution in Indonesia is an issue that is getting more and more attention, especially with the existence of new laws and regulations. Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health presents a legal framework that regulates the protection of patient rights and the obligations of medical personnel in providing services. One of the important aspects of this law is the existence of the Professional Discipline Council, which has a strategic role in resolving medical disputes involving medical personnel and patients. The Professional Disciplinary Council is tasked with enforcing the professional code of ethics and resolving disputes that arise as a result of negligence or violations committed by medical personnel in carrying out their duties. The role of the Professional Disciplinary Council is clearly regulated in Law Number 17 of 2023, which gives this body the authority to conduct examinations, assessments, and impose sanctions on medical personnel who are proven to have committed violations. This process is important to ensure that medical practice in Indonesia runs in accordance with established ethical and professional standards. Through a clear and transparent dispute resolution mechanism, the Professional Disciplinary Assembly functions as a mediator between patients and medical personnel, with the aim of prioritizing justice and mutual welfare. With the implementation of Law Number 17 of 2023, the Professional Discipline Council is expected to provide better protection for patients while ensuring that medical personnel carry out their profession responsibly. The process of resolving medical disputes carried out by the Professional Disciplinary Council does not only focus on providing sanctions, but also as an effort to educate medical personnel to always improve the quality of health services. In this regard, the law provides a stronger foundation for creating a better and more professional health system in Indonesia.
