Abstract

ABSTRACTThe refusal of patients in Emergency Departments (EDs) remains a critical issue within Indonesia’s healthcare system. .  Patients still refuse emergency treatment, even though hospitals and doctors are required to do it by laws such the Hospital Law, the Medical Practice Law, and the Health Law.  Utilizing a normative approach and case study analysis, this paper seeks to examine the legal culpability linked to such refusals. Findings reveal that refusals lacking objective medical grounds violate patients' rights to healthcare, contravene human rights principles and consumer protection standards, and may result in criminal, civil, and administrative legal consequences. The study recommends enhancing legal education for both the public and health professionals, and reinforcing regulatory oversight and sanctions for violations. In doing so, emergency healthcare services can operate more equitably and accountably, ensuring better protection of patients’ rights. Keywords: patient refusal, emergency department, legal liability, right to health, medical discretion.  ABSTRAK Di Indonesia, masalah utama dalam sistem layanan kesehatan adalah pasien yang menolak perawatan di unit gawat darurat.

Penelitian ini merekomendasikan peningkatan edukasi hukum bagi masyarakat dan tenaga kesehatan, serta penguatan mekanisme pengawasan dan sanksi hukum terhadap pelanggaran. Dengan demikian, sistem pelayanan kesehatan darurat dapat berjalan lebih adil, akuntabel, dan menjamin perlindungan maksimal terhadap hak-hak pasien. Kata kunci: penolakan pasien, IGD, pertanggungjawaban hukum, hak atas kesehatan, diskresi medis.

Abstract

Advances in information technology in the digital era have given rise to social media as a new means for people to voice their opinions, including criticizing the government. However, this freedom of expression often conflicts with legal aspects, particularly the provisions of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE), which was amended by Law Number 19 of 2016, specifically Article 27 paragraph (3) and Article 28 paragraph (2). This research aims to examine how these two articles are implemented in responding to criticism of the government conveyed through social media and the extent to which legal protection is provided to citizens. The focus of the research was directed toward the case of Bima Yudho Saputro, who was reported for criticizing conditions in his home region through TikTok. This research adopts a normative juridical method with an analytical approach to legal and case research. The findings suggest that these articles are often misinterpreted and risk criminalizing legally valid forms of criticism, despite not fulfilling the elements of a crime. Legal protection, both preventive and repressive, remains ineffective due to weak regulations, insufficient understanding among law enforcement officials, and limited public access to legal aid. Therefore, regulatory reform and institutional strengthening are needed to ensure that freedom of expression remains protected within a democratic, rule-of-law system.
