Legal Perspectives of Palliative Care in Indonesia
Keywords:
Palliative Care, Healthcare Law, Patients, Healthcare WorkersAbstract
This research confirms that the implementation of palliative care in Indonesia has gained comprehensive and humanitarian-oriented legal legitimacy through the harmonization of the latest regulations in Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health and the Criminal Code Number 1 of 2023, which explicitly guarantees the protection of patient rights and legal certainty for health workers who work according to professional standards by placing criminal law as The Ultimum Remedium instrument in resolving medical disputes, although the effectiveness of its implementation in the field still requires acceleration of strengthening human resource capacity, widespread community socialization, and sustainable operational policy support to ensure optimal quality of life for patients with terminal diseases.
