Principles of Anti-Discrimination and Fairness in Health Services: A Study of Regulations and Practices for Patients with Infectious Diseases in Indonesia
Main Article Content
Abstract
The principles of non-discrimination and justice are the main pillars in the provision of healthcare services in Indonesia, particularly for patients with infectious diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, and other infectious conditions. This study discusses how the guarantee of the right to health as a human right has been strictly regulated in various regulations, ranging from the 1945 Constitution, Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health, to a number of implementing regulations related to infectious disease control. The application of the non-discrimination principle requires every healthcare facility and medical professional to provide equal and dignified treatment without reinforcing stigma or creating barriers to access. The principle of justice is realized in the form of proportional resource allocation, fair and transparent service procedures, as well as corrective mechanisms for patients who experience discriminatory treatment. This study recommends strengthening regulatory implementation, educating medical personnel, and continuous supervision to ensure the creation of an inclusive and equitable health system.
