Abstract

When viewed in terms of the use of hospitals, it is to treat and provide first aid services to the community as patients who need good care in an emergency or to maintain health, therefore hospitals must provide optimal services using hospitals. However, there are still instances in which hospitals refuse to provide health services, such as to poor patients or patients who require first aid. If a hospital refuses to provide medical care to an emergency patient, the hospital as a legal entity is liable for the consequences, which could include jail time for hospital administrators or fines for the hospital's director and/or health care workers. According to corporate responsibility, management is accountable and the corporation is the manufacturer. 2) Article 304 and Article 531 of the Criminal Code are two criminal provisions that can be used against hospitals that refuse to treat emergency patients. in addition to the criminal provisions of Health Law 36 of 2009, Article 190, paragraphs 1 and 2.
