Legal Capacity of Non-COVID Patients in Human Rights Enforcement in Indonesia

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought many changes in people's living order in Indonesia. In this case, the health sector and hospitals as facilities and infrastructure of health facilities organizers have many challenges so as not to become the main victims in the spread of this pandemic. However, one of the less fortunate cases was the death of pregnant women due to the hospital's negligence in handling the first childbirth during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to further examine the extent to which it is regulated in the legal system in Indonesia, the main responsible strategies and institutions, as well as other aspects that can be found in the confusion of the problem. Researchers used the Goal-Free Evaluation Framework as an independent form of the goals to be achieved in the Human Rights Act and looked at the other side to be found during the evaluation of the issue of Human Rights violations. The result is that human rights have been regulated from the acceptance of health services by the public and employment laws of the medical team and hospital strategies listed in the Service Operational Standards but have not been fully implemented. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the local government in minimizing the occurrence of human rights violations as the institution that is most attached to the community despite the national Human Rights Commission in charge of further reviewing the issue, especially after the findings are found and other factors arising from the case.
