LEGAL ANALYSIS OF TELEMEDICINE IN INDONESIA FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MEDICAL ETHICS AND PATIENT RIGHTS
Abstract
This study examines the legal aspects of telemedicine in Indonesia from the perspective of medical ethics and patient rights. Using a normative qualitative approach through literature review, the research analyzes regulations governing telemedicine, personal data protection, and medical ethical principles. The analysis reveals that although telemedicine has the potential to improve healthcare access, existing regulations need to be strengthened to ensure patient rights protection and optimal application of medical ethics. The study recommends developing more comprehensive regulations and enhancing education for healthcare professionals and the public regarding telemedicine.
