The Contribution of Health Law to Social Change
Journal Title: GATR Global Journal of Business & Social Science Review - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective - Can national law, especially health law, reflect changes in the community in order to support community welfare, including the optimum health development which is in keeping with ideals of Indonesia? The law implements social change in the form of the health law. Health infrastructures also change, along with the community changes, which reflect attitudes to healthy living. Methodology/Technique - Critical review of previously published papers Findings - All of these resulted in a shift in the pattern in community living, which in turn, leads to consumerism. Thus, Law Number 23 of 1992 on Health his considered no longer relevant with the current developments, demands, and the requirements of law in the community, so that it needs to be revoked and replaced with the new health law, namely Act Number 36 of 2009. Novelty - Health law gives legal certainty and protection, both for the givers and the recipients of health care services, to improve, direct, and provide the basis of the health sector. Furthermore, health is a human right and one of the elements of well-being that has to be realized in accordance with Indonesian ideals such as stipulated in Pancasila (the Five Moral Principles) and 1945 Constitution of Indonesia.
