Abstract

This study examines the implementation of informed consent in high-risk medical procedures in Indonesia based on the provisions of Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health. Informed consent is a basic patient right that ensures that consent to medical procedures is given consciously after receiving complete information from health workers regarding the benefits, risks, and alternative actions available. This study uses a normative legal method with a legislative approach to analyze the legal protection provided to patients and health workers. The results of the study indicate that although the existing legal framework is quite comprehensive, its implementation in the field still faces obstacles, especially in emergency situations and low health literacy in the community. Increased education for health workers and patients is needed, as well as affirmation of regulations related to therapeutic privilege to address gaps in the implementation of informed consent in high-risk medical procedures.
