The legal protection of pharmacists is very important, because if there is no legal protection in carrying out pharmaceutical practices by a pharmacist it will become an obstacle in the running of pharmaceutical services to the public, especially with the new concept of pharmacy services at home (home pharmacy care). The instrument has not been regulated in the law so that the pharmacist profession is vulnerable to criminalization. The problem in this paper is (a) how is the legal protection of pharmacists in conducting home pharmacy care in the emergency services outside in their authority? How do you prevent the criminalization of pharmacists in conducting home pharmacy care? This study uses an empirical juridical and normative juridical approach. The results showed that the legal protection of pharmacists in carrying out home pharmacy care services in the emergency can carry out services outside their authority. The Indonesian Pharmacist Association (IAI) is obliged to provide protection to members as long as they carry out their duties in accordance with professional standards, professional service standards and operational procedure standards, and prevent the criminalization of pharmacists in practicing Home Pharmacy Care services. Suggestions by the authors in this study is expected the government to immediately issue a new law related to the validity of pharmacist activities in conducting home pharmacy care so that the existence of the law will guarantee legal certainty.

Abstract Objective Informed consent is a prerequisite for caesarean section, the commonest surgical procedure in low- and middle-income settings, but not always acquired to an appropriate extent. Exploring perceptions of health care workers may aid in improving clinical practice around informed consent. We aim to explore health workers’ beliefs and experiences related to principles and practice of informed consent. Methods Qualitative study conducted between January and June 2018 in a rural 150-bed mission hospital in Southern Malawi. Clinical observations, semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion were used to collect data. Participants were 22 clinical officers, nurse-midwives and midwifery students involved in maternity care. Data were analysed to identify themes and construct an analytical framework. Results Definition and purpose of informed consent revolved around providing information, respecting women’s autonomy and achieving legal protection. Due to fear of blame and litigation, health workers preferred written consent. Written consent requires active participation by the consenting individual and was perceived to transfer liability to that person. A woman’s refusal to provide written informed consent may pose a dilemma for the health worker between doing good and respecting autonomy. To prevent such refusal, health workers said to only partially disclose surgical risks in order to minimize women's anxiety. Commonly perceived barriers to obtain a fully informed consent were labour pains, language barriers, women’s lack of education and their dependency on others to make decisions. Conclusions Health workers are familiar with the principles around informed consent and aware of its advantages, but fear of blame and litigation, partial disclosure of risks and barriers to communication hamper the process of obtaining informed consent. Findings can be used to develop interventions to improve the informed consent process.

Kanekes Village, where Baduy people live, is the biggest contributor to maternal deaths in the District of Lebak. Baduy awareness to check pregnancy at midwives has begun to increase, but for childbirth and childbirth examination has not been carried out. That is because there is a culture in the Baduy community regarding childbirth itself, as well as their adherence to the rules that have been issued by traditional leaders.

This study aims to examine the constraints and analyze the process of the formation of relationships between health workers, cadres, and heads of RT with the Baduy community in effective communication to improve modern health services during pregnancy, give birth, and postpartum in the Baduy community. The results showed that modern health services can be applied to the behavior of pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperal of the Baduy community if the agents of change (organic intellectual) can change the idea of the modern health service into an ideology, then popular belief is obtained, then hegemony is formed from the agents of change.

<p class="Default">Tenaga kesehatan banyak mendapatkan sorotan dari masyarakat, karena kesehatan merupakan kebutuhan pokok manusia dan kualitas sumber daya manusia (SDM) ditentukan dua faktor yang saling berhubungan yakni pendidikan dan kesehatan. Kesehatan merupakan prasyarat utama agar upaya pendidikan berhasil, sebaliknya pendidikan yang diperoleh akan sangat mendukung tercapainya peningkatan status kesehatan seseorang. Sorotan masyarakat terhadap profesi tenaga kesehatan merupakan suatu kewajaran karena pelayanan kesehatan merupakan kebutuhan yang tidak bisa ditunda dan diabaikan.</p><p class="Default">Profesionalitas profesi kesehatan menjadi harga mati yang tidak boleh ditawar oleh siapapun, karena berhubungan dengan kebutuhan pokok manusia. Tenaga kesehatan terutama perawat dan  bidan sebagai profesi mempunyai tanggung jawab pokok pelayanan kesehatan. Perawat dan bidan  bertanggung jawab dalam bidang kesehatan secara preventif dan  harus mampu menangani berbagai macam pelayanan kesehatan bahkan pelayanan yang memerlukan tindakan darurat, dan melakukan rujukan yang cepat dan tepat.</p><p class="Default">Sebagai Subjek hukum keperanan perawat wajib dilindungi secara hukum. Perlindungan tersebut diperlukan manakala penanganan pertama yang dilakukan perawat dan bidan tidak dapat menyelamat nyawa seseorang dan kemudian ada kekecewaan dalam diri keluarga sang pasien terhadap tindakan bidan atau perawat tersebut. </p><p>Perawat yang mempunyai latar belakang ilmu kesehatan menjadi tujuan masyarakat bilamana ada anggota masyarakat sedang sakit, terlebih lagi jika tidak ada dokter di sekitarnya. Dalam kondisi seseorang sakit tentunya perawat tidak dapat menolak untuk membantu menyembuhkan bahkan menyelamatkan terlebih lagi dalam kondisi gawat bahkan darurat. </p><p>Health workers get a lot of attention from the public, because health is a basic human need and the quality of human resources (HR) determined two interrelated factors of education and health. Health is a major prerequisite for educational efforts to succeed, otherwise education will greatly support the achievement of improving one's health status. The public's spotlight on the health professional profession is a fairness because health care is a necessity that can not be postponed and ignored.</p><p>Professionalism of the health profession becomes a fixed price that no one can bargain for, because it deals with human needs. Health workers, especially nurses and midwives as professions have primary responsibility for health services. Nurses and midwives are in charge of health in a preventive manner and should be able to handle a wide range of health services and even services that require emergency measures, and make quick and precise referrals.</p><p>As the subject of nurses' law of nurses shall be protected by law. Such protection is necessary when the first handling of the nurse and midwife can not save a person's life and then there is disappointment in the patient's family for the actions of the midwife or nurse.</p><p>Nurses who have a health science background become a community goal when there are members of the community are sick, especially if there is no doctor around. In the condition of someone sick of course nurses can not refuse to help heal even rescue even more in emergency conditions even emergency.</p>

Incorrect application of the law and a long period of cases resolution in court requires reform in handling medical malpractice cases.

The liability for criminal acts of malpractice is currently an important spotlight because the legal rules governing it are still vague. This is because the qualifications of malpractice acts are not clearly stated in the legal rules.

Under these conditions, sometimes health workers have to sacrifice their lives to protect the public from the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
