LEGAL PROTECTION OF PATIENTS IN MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

Abstract

Legal protection of patients concerning health services for the actions of doctors and health workers resulting in losses for the absolute patient is given as a form of state welfare law (welfare state). Protection for patients is carried out both in a preventive and repressive manner. Preventive legal protection is carried out by stipulating several obligations and prohibitions as guidelines that doctors and health workers must obey and heed concerning the provision of health services. Meanwhile, legal protection that is repressive is provided through the establishment of a dispute settlement institution by filing a lawsuit for default and/or actions against the law filed through the District Court.
