Abstract

This study examines the protection of health rights in Indonesia from the perspective of human rights and the Indonesian constitution. The study aims to analyze relevant regulations and articles on health rights protection and propose an ideal pattern in health protection for citizens within the framework of human rights and the Indonesian constitution. The methodology used in this study is a descriptive-analytic approach with a focus on normative legal research. The results show that the right to health is a fundamental human right and must be guaranteed by the state following the constitution and human rights law. The study also identifies various aspects of health rights protection, including the right to quality and affordable health services, health insurance, and eliminating discrimination in health services. Moreover, the study proposes an ideal pattern for health protection for different vulnerable groups, including women, children, people with disabilities, elderly people, and people with HIV/AIDS. The proposed ideal pattern includes policies and regulations to support reducing maternal mortality, strengthening child health programs, realizing disability-friendly health facilities, providing long-term care services for elderly people, and eliminating stigmatization and discrimination against PLHIV. Overall, this study highlights the importance of fulfilling the health rights of all citizens in Indonesia and provides recommendations to achieve this goal.
