This study aims to describe the criminal liability of doctors who commit malpractice acts and to analyze the legal protection for patients who are victims of malpractice in positive law studies in Indonesia.

The results of the study stated that malpractice is included in the realm of criminal law other than civil and administrative. Doctors can be prosecuted criminally, although the criminal law does not clearly stipulate criminal penalties for malpractice.

In the Criminal Code, criminal liability for malpractice is contained in Article 90, Article 359, Article 360 ??paragraphs (1) and (2) and Article 361. Those subject to this article include doctors, midwives, medicine experts, who are experts in their work. each. If they ignore the regulations or requirements in their work, causing death (Article 359) or serious injury (Article 360), they will be punished more severely. Legal protection for victims of medical malpractice is regulated in Law no. 29 of 2009 concerning Medical Practice, granting rights to victims to submit complaints to the Chairman of the Indonesian Medical Discipline Honorary Council, as well as simultaneously taking criminal and civil law remedies to court.
