INTRODUCTION
Health
law plays a crucial role in protecting patient rights and providing
legal certainty for healthcare professionals. Students, as prospective
legal practitioners, need to understand the application of health law in
real-world situations.
Main issues found:
1. Students are not yet able to practically compile legal documents for health services.
2. Understanding of informed consent is still at the theoretical level.
3. There is no training that combines academic aspects and clinical implementation.
Relevant regulations:
a) Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health
b) Medical Practice Act
c) Minister of Health Regulation regarding service standards & approval of medical procedures
Therefore, it is necessary to empower students so that they are ready to face the legal aspects of health services.
