Article 308 of Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health regulates the mechanism for recommendations from the panel prior to an investigation into medical personnel or health workers suspected of committing legal violations in the provision of health services. However, in practice, there are legal gaps, including unclear criteria for the panel in issuing recommendations, undefined professional standards, and consequences if the panel neglects or delays its recommendations. This gap has the potential to lead to premature investigations that can be detrimental to medical personnel. This study aims to analyze this legal gap and formulate proposals for reforming the panel's recommendation mechanism to make it clearer, more objective, and more effective in providing legal protection for medical personnel. The research method uses a normative-juridical approach, with an analysis of laws and regulations, legal doctrine, and case studies related to investigations of health workers. The results of this study are expected to form the basis for legal reform that guarantees legal certainty, transparency, and protection for the professional practices of medical personnel in the context of safe and responsible health services.
