Abstract

In medical practice, the application of medical ethics often overlaps with general societal ethics, particularly in the use of psychotropic drugs. Regulations related to psychotropics have been established in various legal provisions, such as the Health Law and the Psychotropics Law, to ensure the safe and controlled use of these substances. However, in practice, there are still instances of abuse of authority by medical personnel, including improper prescription procedures and unlawful distribution. This study employs a normative juridical method, utilizing a legislative and conceptual approach. The findings indicate that legal sanctions for such violations have been established, including criminal and administrative penalties. However, the implementation of these sanctions still faces challenges in terms of effectiveness and balancing patient protection with access to medication. From a medical ethics perspective, the principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, and informed consent must be upheld in prescribing these drugs to protect patients' rights and prevent dependency or harmful side effects. Therefore, a more comprehensive policy evaluation is necessary to ensure the proper use of psychotropic drugs in accordance with legal and ethical principles while strengthening oversight in medical practice to prevent misuse.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine and comprehend the legal foundation and implementation of legal protection for victims of malpractice by hospitals in Indonesia. This research seeks to assess the degree to which victims of malpractice receive legal protection and hold hospitals and involved medical personnel accountable. The research methodology employed is a literature study, encompassing secondary data collection through books, law journals, research findings, and pertinent legislative documents. Various legal sources are scrutinized in this research, including Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection and Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health. The findings reveal that there are legal frameworks providing protection for victims of malpractice, such as Law No. 44 of 2009 on Hospitals and Health Law No. 17 of 2023. Nonetheless, challenges persist in the implementation of legal protection for malpractice victims, particularly concerning the legal procedures that victims must navigate to secure compensation and accountability from hospitals or medical personnel.
