Abstract

This study analyzes the legal protection of the rights of indigent patients in health services in Indonesia based on Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health. The study found that although the regulation has provided a strong legal foundation, its implementation still faces various obstacles, such as limited infrastructure, unequal distribution of health workers, and administrative barriers. The rights of indigent patients, guaranteed in several articles of this law, have not been fully implemented due to weak supervision and lack of public health literacy. This study provides suggestions to strengthen health infrastructure, optimize the National Health Insurance system, and improve public health literacy. In addition, more transparent and accountable supervision is needed to ensure health facilities' compliance with the set standards. A more inclusive and equitable health system reform is expected to realize better legal protection for poor patients in Indonesia.
