Abstract

This study investigates how government legal policy shaped incentive schemes and occupational safety guarantees for health professionals during the COVID-19 response in Indonesia. Using a qualitative method with normative legal analysis, the research examines key instruments such as Presidential Decree No. 11 of 2020, Government Regulation instead of Law (Perppu) No. 1 of 2020 (later ratified as Law No. 2 of 2020), Minister of Health Decree No. HK.01.07/MENKES/4239/2021, and Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health. The findings reveal that emergency legal policies, which relied heavily on executive discretion, became the foundation for determining incentive mechanisms. Implementation, however, was often hindered by bureaucratic complexity and unequal distribution across regions. Regarding occupational safety, integrating Occupational Safety and Health (K3) principles marked a necessary legal adaptation. Yet, significant shortcomings persisted, most notably in mental health protection and the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Psychological support for frontline workers remained underdeveloped, leaving them exposed to burnout and trauma, while PPE shortages and uneven allocation undermined workplace safety. These results demonstrate that legal responses prioritized rapid financial relief but lacked balance with long-term, comprehensive protection. By highlighting this gap, the study contributes to understanding the relationship between political power, the legal framework, and the welfare of health professionals. The implications stress the need for a holistic and integrated legal policy, supported by sustained commitment and adequate resources, to ensure equitable and lasting protection for health professionals in future public health crises.

Abstract

Confidentiality of patient data is a crucial aspect of healthcare services, supporting accurate medical decision-making and maintaining public trust. This study aims to analyze the role of hospitals in safeguarding patient data confidentiality through the application of the principle of beneficence. The research adopts a qualitative methodology with a descriptive approach, utilizing in-depth analysis to explore technical, legal, and ethical aspects of patient data management. Data collection techniques include interviews with medical personnel, observations of data management procedures, and reviews of data protection policies implemented by hospitals. This study examines strengthening hospitals' roles and responsibilities in protecting patient data confidentiality based on the principle of beneficence, as mandated by Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health. Hospitals are obligated to store and safeguard patient data at the highest standards, yet challenges arise with advancements in digital technology that increase the risk of data breaches. Additionally, medical personnel's lack of training in protecting patient data privacy poses another significant issue. Hospitals need to design clear internal policies and implement adequate security systems, such as encryption and access control. Further discussion highlights a beneficence-based model of responsibility, which prioritizes the patient’s best interests, including transparency in patient data management. Therefore, hospitals must enhance their data protection mechanisms by integrating the principle of beneficence to build patient trust and comply with legal obligations.

Abstract

As the highest judicial institution, the Supreme Court exercises its powers freely and independently. Judges must have morals, principles of justice, and adhere to a code of ethics. Judges must uphold justice in resolving disputes or legal cases and ensure that society receives justice. As state officials, the recruitment process for judges should be separated from the recruitment of civil servants. The position of judges as state officials should be regulated comprehensively by law. This research examines the recruitment process of judges as independent implementers of judicial power. The research method used is descriptive, using qualitative data analysis with a normative juridical approach. Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2021 concerning Amendments to Supreme Court Regulation Number 2 of 2017 concerning the Procurement of Judges regulates the need for judges in General Courts, Religious Courts and State Administration through the acceptance of Candidates for Civil Servants that needs to be improved. This need arises because there are no legal provisions regarding the recruitment of judges as state officials. In the future, provisions for the recruitment of judges should be regulated through Government Regulations so as not to impact the independence of judges as implementers of judicial power.
