Abstrak

The development of the healthcare system in Indonesia has promoted home care and palliative care services as fundamental needs for terminal patients. This study analyses the legal aspects of home care provision and the protection of terminal patients' rights to palliative care based on current regulations. Through a normative study of Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health and supporting technical regulations, it was found that home care and palliative care are legal rights that must be fulfilled by the state and health facilities. The implementation of these services is regulated through the application of professional standards, protection of informed consent, medical data confidentiality, and mediation-based dispute resolution. The state is responsible for ensuring equitable access and quality of services, including providing multidisciplinary teams, essential medicines, and psychological and spiritual support. The protection of the rights of terminal patients includes enforcing informed consent for medical procedures, respecting dignity until the end of life, and involving families in decision-making. These legal implications strengthen the national health system to uphold justice, safety, and welfare for terminal patients and all parties involved.
