Health is one main factor for each human to do daily activities. Health service
is very necessarily needed by people to obtain health because disease they suffer
from. Health personnel are expected to work well and carefully so that the people
enjoy health service happily. However, health service or medical service do not
always give things as properly expected by all parties, sometimes medical service
results in bad impacts to patients, such as, paralyzing, defect, and death. Therefore,
legal protection to patients in terms of medical services is highly important and
necessary, especially rights to demand for compensation of problems made by health
personnel. From the problems, this paper could be written with title “Legal Protection
to patients in terms of Medical Services”, a review of civil law perspective. This
study objective was to reveal, using law sciences, how is legal protection to patients
viewed in terms of civil case if health personnel made problems or neglects. Study
methodology was empirical law study, data sources used in this study were primary
and secondary data, and books, newspapers, web site magazines, and questionnaire to
patients were used to collect the data. Study location was in RSU Panti Baktiningsih.
Analytic method used in this study was quantitative to think inductively.Results of
study indicated that legal protection to patients in terms of civil cases was
compensation as result of problems of health personnel which had not been enjoyed
by patients because RS (hospital) and health personnel would not take risk. From the
results of study, it could be concluded that legal protection to patients, in terms of
civil cases, was compensation as result of problems or neglects of health personnel,
which had not been enjoyed by patients fully. I suggest that the government should
control and supervise, in order that patients may demand for compensation as results
of problems of health personnel, which could be enjoyed by patients.
