Abstract

The Covid 19 pandemic in Indonesia caused many Covid 19 sufferers to need health to cope with the disease and reduce the risk of transmission; the government's efforts to issue a HK 02.01/MENKES/303/2020 directive message from the Minister of Health on the management of healthcare care through the use of advances in information technology namely telemedicine. The circular letter is at the discretion of the Minister of health, so there is no regulation regarding telemedicine services carried out between doctors and patients, then strengthened by Minister of health decree no.HK.01.07/Menkes/2021 During the Covid-19 epidemic, guidelines for health services using telehealth were developed. The Indonesian Medical Council (KKI) has issued Perkonsil Number 74 of 2020 with relation to Professional Competence and Healthcare Treatment using Telehealth must be in line with legal and ethical aspects of medicine. In terms of medical ethics, it contains the principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, respect for the person, and justice, so we must provide the best for patients. In the implementation of telemedicine, there are limitations in providing medical services according to professional standards so that the fulfillment of patents rights cannot be fully fulfilled; for example, some physical examinations on patients can be carried out, so there is a risk.
