Keywords:
Legal Protection, Criminal Law, Medical Malpractice, Health LawAbstract
This research analyzes procedures and criteria to determine whether medical malpractice should be handled criminally and criminal law protection for doctors after the enactment of Law no. 17 of 2023 concerning Health. The research method uses normative juridical analysis, with literature study research to collect and analyze data from statutory regulations, court decisions, and doctrinal approaches in criminal law and medicine. The research results show that medical malpractice actions do not always have to be criminal cases, but require careful consideration of evidence, medical standards, and the patient's interests. Restorative justice can be used to restore relationships between doctors, patients and the community in resolving medical disputes. Doctors can be given legal protection from potential malpractice claims through mechanisms such as Informed Consent, medical records, as well as medical reasons such as medical risks or accidents. This emphasizes the importance of adhering to legal and ethical principles in the practice of medicine to protect physicians from undesirable legal consequences.
