The situation humanity is currently experiencing is an unforeseen event for which we were not prepared. Unquestionably, the health systems in the world collapsed along with the increase in positive cases of COVID-19. Medical personnel and members of other health care disciplines did not have the necessary training to carry out the necessary protection when dealing with infected patients, however, it was work that had to be done. The death of the first doctors was the turning point at which it was evident that high security measures were required, as well as sufficient training for them to continue their work. Despite the measures implemented, contagion remained a reality. Added to this, at least in our country, the response of the population, which in many cases has been negative, accompanied by attacks on staff, damage to infrastructure and violation of the fundamental rights of other patients. The objective of this article is to present the current situation and help to create awareness of the risk that doctors and other health workers experience in their day to day, since the beginning of this pandemic.

Health is a fundamental need for every human being in his life and to meet these needs the role of doctors and health workers is very important. Doctors and Health care in providing health services to the community is always required in order to provide the best service. So with the Hospital. However, the health services provided may result in two different possibilities of the patient being cured or even worsening the disease until death. If the patient recovers it will flow millions of praise and abundant various forms of appreciation that he receives but if that happens is the opposite then in certain conditions where the patient feels aggrieved can culminate until the lawsuit to court. In medical practice, doctors do not work alone but are also often assisted by other health workers. Likewise Hospital as a corporation employs doctors and health workers to provide health services to the community. If in the event of any medical treatment from medical personnel to medical personnel and/or Hospital to the physician and at risk of mistake or negligence in the health service, then the loss suffered by the patient may result in risks (risico aanspraklijkheid) based on Article 1367 paragraph (3) BW. In the context of health law regulated in Article 65 of Law Number 36 Year 2014 on Health Personnel, and Article 35 Paragraph 6 of Law Number 38 Year 2014 on Nursing and Article 23 Paragraph (3) point c Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 2052 / Menkes / Per / X / 2011 About Practice License and Implementation of Medical Practice as well as Article 46 Act Number 44 of 2009 About Hospital that is Hospital is legally responsible for all the losses caused by negligence made by health personnel in the Hospital. Efforts to prevent it internally need to agree on the rights and obligations of each party in a specified standard of conduct that is proportionally regulated and based on equitability values, either in the form of Hospital by Law as well as the prevailing rules binding on all staff within a hospital staff (Medical staff by law).

Organizational and preventive measures should be aimed primarily at monitoring the working conditions and health of medical staff .

High Disease Burden

Health systems rely upon two groups of people: health workers and patients. In recent decades both groups have been on the move globally, with the creation of internationalized labour market opportunities (the hunt for skilled labour in the case of health workers) and private investments in high-end health care on lower-cost developing countries (one of the key incentives for patients seeking care outside of their own country, for uninsured or under-insured services). Both flows raise a number of health equity concerns. Health worker migration can pose undue hardships on low-resource, high-disease burden countries who lose their workers to richer nations, creating a ‘perverse subsidy’ of poor to rich. With medical tourism, private, fee-paying foreign patients in poorer countries could ‘crowd out’ access to care for domestic patients in those countries, while potentially returning with drug resistant infections or complications burdening their home country’s health systems.

I regard it as a singular honour and privilege to have been invited to deliver this lecture named in honour of Dr Henry Maudsley. His name is revered in medicine, not least because of his generosity in founding the Maudsley Hospital, famous throughout the world, but also because, as a former President of the Royal Medico-Psychological Association, he was active in that body out of which your distinguished college eventually evolved. The topic I have chosen is one which seems to me to be of great topical interest in an era both of increasing public scrutiny of medical practice and of the delivery of health care in a changing society. This scrutiny has brought advantages, but also substantial disadvantages to clinical medicine.

AbstractAlford's theory of structural interests has been used as a framework within which to analyse health systems across the world. However, authors have often been uncritical in their acceptance of Alford's original analytic categories. In this article we use data from a detailed qualitative study of the introduction of Practice Based Commissioning in the UK NHS to interrogate Alford's work more critically. Disrupting Alford's original categories of ‘professional monopolisers’ as dominant interests, challenged by management ‘corporate rationalisers’, we suggest that the new structures established in the NHS since 2002 systematically privilege an interest that we call ‘corporate monopolisers’, and that this is under challenge from ‘professional rationalisers’.
