The hospital’s position as a health service facility is strategically improving Indonesia’s people’s health status. The problem of this research is related to legal protection and hospital responsibility for patients’ rights in health services in hospitals. This study uses normative legal research in the form of legal materials, which include statutory legal documents, literature, and other literature that supports the research. The results showed that (a) Legal protection of the rights of patients in health services in hospitals can demand compensation through legal claims based on unlawful acts filed to obtain compensation in the form of justice for patients or families who are harmed due to negligence rather than health workers, which can be in the form of material compensation and immaterial compensation. (b) The hospital’s responsibility to patients’ rights in health services can be applied responsibly by providing administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions. The application of these sanctions needs to be stated in various laws and regulations, both in Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, as well as in Law Number 29 of 2004 concerning Medical Practices, Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health, Law Number 44 of 2009 regarding Hospitals is a State obligation, so that a settlement mechanism is needed if there are violations committed, especially by doctors.
