- Abstract
The covid-19 pandemic is still becoming a major problem in the world until now, especially in the health sector. One of the most vulnerable community groups to Covid-19 are doctors and medical personnel. Not a few doctors are sick and die. Doctors work in the back line to treat Covid-19 patients. They struggle to treat and cure the patients. They have to fight, not go home, and not take a day off or leave. At the same time, the appreciation of doctors and medical personnel are rarely heard. However, none of them resigned and stopped being doctors and medical personnel. This study is conducted to examine the relevance of the social choice theory to doctors and medical personnel who continue to work with Covid-19 patients at risk of illness and death. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods by collecting data through observation and in-depth interviews. The study indicates that social choice theory is relevant to the phenomenon of doctors and medical personnel during the Covid-19 pandemic. Even though many of them are sick and die and do not get the appreciation they deserve, the doctors still carry out their duty to treat Covid-19 patients.
