Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, with high case and death rates. Consequently, the government has implemented various control policies through Presidential Regulation Number 67 of 2021 concerning Tuberculosis Control. This study aims to analyze the legal regulations and implementation of government policies for tuberculosis control in Indonesia and to assess their compliance with human rights perspectives, particularly the right to health. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory and conceptual approach . The research results show that the legal framework for tuberculosis control is adequately grounded in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights, Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health, and Presidential Regulation Number 67 of 2021 as a technical regulation. Policy implementation has shown positive progress through improved case detection, treatment, surveillance, and health service innovation. However, obstacles remain, including the failure to achieve case detection targets, high mortality rates, unequal access to health services, and stigma against tuberculosis sufferers. From a human rights perspective, the implementation of this policy aligns with the fulfillment of the right to health, although its implementation still requires strengthening to ensure that the right to health is fulfilled effectively, equitably, and fairly.
