<![CDATA[The development of telemedicine services in Indonesia has become an innovative solution in providing remote healthcare access, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, behind this progress lies a serious legal issue regarding the leakage of patients’ personal data, which remains inadequately addressed. This study aims to analyze the legal aspects of personal data protection in telemedicine services using a normative legal approach, focusing on statutory regulations such as Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection and related health sector policies. The findings indicate that, despite the presence of a formal legal framework, practical implementation remains weak, as evidenced by multiple data breach incidents, including the e-HAC and COVID-19 patient medical record cases.
