Abstrak

This study aims to analyse the legal framework and challenges in implementing hospitals' obligation to provide 24-hour emergency services seven days a week in remote areas, based on applicable regulations in Indonesia. Normatively, the right to emergency services is a constitutional mandate that is elaborated in legislation, including Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health, Law No. 44 of 2009 on Hospitals, and related ministerial regulations. Analysis shows that emergency services must be provided without discrimination or delay, and it is the legal obligation of hospitals to ensure patient safety. However, the implementation of this policy is still fraught with challenges, especially in remote areas. These challenges include limited human resources, facilities and infrastructure, financing, and a referral system that is not yet optimal. Affirmative support from the government, strengthening of referral networks, and improvement of regulations are needed so that emergency services for communities in remote areas can be implemented in a tangible and equitable manner.
