Legal Guarantee of Health Services in a Positive Legal Perspective in Indonesia

The emergence of cases of patients who were neglected or not properly cared for by Health Workers at the Puskesmas is an indication that the legal awareness of the community is increasing. The more individuals know about law and order, the more they are familiar their privileges and commitments, and the more extensive the voices requesting that the law assume its part in the wellbeing area. This additionally makes general society or patients never again acknowledge the method of therapy completed by the clinical side. Patients need to know how clinical activity is done so later they won't endure misfortunes because of mistakes and carelessness of the clinical party. This cannot be separated from the Medical Service Standards that have been stipulated in Article 58 of Law Number 36 of 2014 concerning Health Workers, which regulates health service procedures for patients. However, the health services at several Puskesmas are not by the above rules, due to the low level of health services by health workers, who are not disciplined in carrying out their duties as mandated by law. Health workers who are given trust by patients, and who are employed at the Puskesmas must pay attention to the pros and cons of actions and always be careful in carrying out medical actions, with the aim that patient protection can be realized.
