Abstract

This study aims to analyze the responsibility of doctors in the context of civil law, especially related to the relationship between doctors and patients and the legal implications arising from medical negligence. Using a normative legal approach, this study examines the provisions of applicable civil law, including Article 1365 of the Civil Code (KUHPerdata) concerning unlawful acts, as well as relevant court decisions. The results of the study indicate that the responsibility of doctors in civil law is objective, where doctors can be held accountable if there is negligence that causes harm to patients. This study also highlights the importance of the aspect of medical ethics in reducing the risk of legal disputes and as a fulfillment of patient rights. In conclusion, a comprehensive understanding of the legal responsibility of doctors is needed to protect patient rights and ensure responsible medical practice.
