Agung Abdul Rahman Wiyono, Nando Dwi Kurniawan, Azis Setyagama. A legal review of civil liability in malpractice cases in Indonesia

Medical malpractice is a complex legal issue involving aspects of criminal law, civil law and medical ethics. Medical malpractice cases often result in both physical and psychological harm to patients, thus demanding legal accountability from medical personnel. This study aims to analyse the forms of civil liability in medical malpractice cases and the obstacles to law enforcement. The research method used is a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results show that civil liability focuses more on the existence of unlawful acts or breaches of contract that cause harm to patients. Law enforcement in medical malpractice cases still faces obstacles in obtaining evidence and differing views between the legal and medical professions.
