Rights and Obligations of the Community in Health Services Towards Justice from the Perspective of Law Number 17 of 2023 Concerning Health

Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health establishes a legal framework for health services based on the principle of justice. It emphasizes the rights and obligations of the community in achieving fair, quality, and affordable health services. Ensuring justice and equality in health service provision is crucial for all communities. The stagnation of legal justice and access in Indonesia highlights the need for improvements in the legal system and service quality. Social justice, encompassing education, health, economy, and politics, is a key state goal. Health, as a basic right, must be fulfilled by the state to ensure community quality of life. This study investigates how community rights and obligations in health services, as regulated by Law No. 17 of 2023, impact justice in access and service quality and how to reduce discrimination in health services. Using a qualitative approach with normative-descriptive analysis, the study found that Indonesia's Constitution guarantees the right to health services and a healthy life. These right mandates the state to commit to directing and implementing health services as a protected order.
