<![CDATA[This paper explores the delegation of medical treatment from medical personnel to nurses in Indonesia and the associated civil liability issues. While medical personnel can delegate medical treatment to nurses under Article 65 of Law Number 36 of 2014, Law Number 38 of 2014 provides for deviations from this law. According to Article 29 paragraph (3) letter e of Law Number 38, the nurse is responsible for medical actions, raising concerns about civil liability if mistakes or negligence occur. The paper argues that medical personnel should bear civil law responsibility for medical actions carried out by nurses based on delegation of authority and suggests amending Article 32 of Law Number 38 of 2014 to clarify accountability and change the term "delegation of authority" to "cooperation or collaboration." The paper emphasizes the need to regulate and clarify civil liability in delegating medical action from medical personnel to nurses in Indonesia. By doing so, healthcare professionals can collaborate more effectively and safely to deliver quality healthcare services to patients. The proposed amendments to the law could provide a more equitable and responsible approach to delegating medical treatment to nurses, ensuring that patients receive the highest standard of care possible.]]>
