LEGAL ANALYSIS OF IMPLEMENTING TRADITIONAL MEDICINE PRACTICES IN BANDAR LAMPUNG

Abstract

The implementation of traditional medical practices is supported by several regulations including the Minister of Health Decree No. 1076 / MENKES / SK / VII / 2003 concerning Organizers of Traditional Medicine and Law No. 36 of 2009 concerning Health. This research was conducted using the normative-empirical method. The study population was taken by purposive sampling according to the research objectives. Data analysis in this legal analysis research uses qualitative methods. The rules and conditions set for the management of traditional medical practices in Bandar Lampung City are guided by PerMenKes No. 61 of 2016 concerning Empirical Traditional Health Services, PP of the Republic of Indonesia No. 103 of 2014 concerning Traditional Health Services and Decree of the Head of Lampung Provincial Health Office Number 442 regarding Guidelines for Developing Traditional Health Services in Lampung Province in 2009. The resulting legal analysis is evident from 60 respondents that there are 39 people or 65% already know that the traditional medicine where they seek treatment already have a permit, this will increase the confidence of patients to seek treatment to a legal license. The results of the study of 60 patient respondents were only 3 people who were given health insurance by traditional medical providers. While the remaining 57 patient respondents were not given health insurance by traditional medical providers. This proves that only 5% of traditional medicine dares to give health insurance to their patients. Patients or people who seek treatment are entitled to health insurance following the legal basis for health insurance. The Bandar Lampung City Health Office has not optimally conducted supervision and education on traditional medicine in the Bandar Lampung City. It is hoped that the mayor's regulations will effectively regulate traditional medical practices, preventive measures, and make patients more selective in choosing health healing facilities.
