<![CDATA[Traditional healthcare services constitute an integral part of Indonesia's healthcare system but remain subject to administrative legal requirements concerning licensing, supervision, and accountability. This study examines the licensing procedures and administrative liability of the Pijat Urat Sangkal Putung practice in Tanjung Sepreh Village, Magetan Regency, from the perspective of Administrative Law. An empirical legal research method with an empirical-juridical approach was employed. Primary data were obtained through interviews and field observations, while secondary data were collected through statutory and literature reviews. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods. The findings indicate that business legality has been fulfilled through the acquisition of a Traditional Healer Registration Certificate (STPT), business licensing, recommendations from the local Health Office, administrative verification, field inspections, and continuous governmental supervision. However, many traditional healers remain unregistered due to administrative and economic barriers, revealing a gap between regulatory provisions and their implementation. The study further demonstrates that the liability of traditional healers should primarily be addressed within the framework of administrative law through licensing compliance, government supervision, and administrative sanctions before extending to civil or criminal liability. The novelty of this research lies in integrating licensing, administrative governance, government supervision, and legal accountability into a comprehensive Administrative Law analysis of traditional healthcare services. The study contributes to strengthening administrative governance and improving legal protection in the regulation of traditional healthcare services in Indonesia.]]>
