Kasus kelalaian tindakan medis merupakan salah satu permasalahan serius dalam praktik hukum kesehatan yang dapat merugikan pasien sebagai korban. Kelalaian ini tidak hanya berdampak pada kerugian fisik dan psikis korban, tetapi juga menimbulkan pertanyaan tentang efektivitas perlindungan hukum yang diberikan kepada mereka. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perlindungan hukum bagi korban kelalaian tindakan medis dengan menelaah Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Surabaya Nomor 840/Pid.B/2020/PN Sby tanggal 28 Januari 2021. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan kasus, didukung oleh kajian dokumen hukum dan literatur relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengadilan mempertimbangkan unsur kelalaian, akibat hukum, serta pemenuhan hak korban dalam putusannya. Namun, terdapat tantangan dalam implementasi perlindungan hukum, terutama terkait pemenuhan ganti rugi dan rehabilitasi bagi korban. Artikel ini merekomendasikan penguatan regulasi dan kebijakan hukum kesehatan yang lebih berpihak pada korban, serta peningkatan pemahaman tenaga medis terhadap kewajiban hukum untuk mencegah kelalaian serupa di masa depan.

This study examines positive law and Islamic law regarding patients' rights to access and confidentiality of medical records. Health is a crucial component of human life that requires special attention, both in terms of healthcare services and the protection of patients' rights. The right to access and confidentiality of medical records is one of the essential rights held by patients. Medical records encompass all of a patient's medical history, including diagnoses, treatments, and health conditions. Given the unique nature of this research subject, the method employed is a normative juridical descriptive analysis. This study adopts a comparative approach and focuses on primary legal materials, including theories, concepts, principles, and relevant legal regulations. It is recognized as a library research approach, which involves collecting data from literature, legislation, and book studies. According to Islamic law, strong confidentiality is required to uphold patients' rights to access their medical records. Although patients have the right to know what is recorded in their medical records, doctors and healthcare providers must ensure that this information is not used unethically or in violation of the patient's privacy. Among the universal humanitarian values is the right of patients to access their medical records and the protection of their confidentiality. Both Islamic law and positive law emphasize the importance of maintaining a balance between patients' rights to know their medical information and the obligation of healthcare providers to safeguard the confidentiality of that information. This principle aims to protect patients' rights, preserve their dignity, and build trust between patients and healthcare professionals
