Health workers play a vital role in maintaining public health and safety. However, in carrying out their duties, it is not uncommon for health workers to commit minor offences which are often caused by emergency situations or high work pressure. This paper aims to analyse the legal protection for health workers who commit minor offences. This research uses a qualitative method with a juridical-normative approach, examining existing laws and policies and applying case analysis to describe the situation faced by health workers. The results showed that although there are legal provisions governing the discipline and responsibility of health workers, there is still a legal vacuum in terms of adequate protection for those who commit minor offences. Revision and refinement of regulations are needed to provide fair protection for health workers and encourage them to carry out their duties with a sense of security without worrying about experiencing disproportionate legal action. This study recommends the establishment of a humane and rehabilitation-focused law enforcement mechanism, as well as the development of clear guidelines regarding the handling of minor offences by health workers.
