- Abstract
The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD 1945) in Article 28H stipulates that health is a right for every individual and all citizens are entitled to health services. In an effort to obtain health services or treatment, someone hereinafter referred to as the patient will be faced with health service providers, namely health workers, especially medical personnel (doctors). Therapeutic transactions basically contain various things related to healing efforts carried out by doctors for patients in health care facilities, where these efforts are based on the expertise and competence of a doctor. However, the current situation is no longer the same as it used to be where doctors have more space to carry out actions that are considered right without consent and even without the patient knowing what and how the healing efforts will be carried out. Along with the development of the times and the amount of information that can be accessed by the public, in the end it raises awareness of the existence of legal elements in the implementation of health services, which some individuals then make as objects to plunge health workers who are actually health service providers into the realm of law.
