Abstract
Along with the changing times, hospitals can not only be managed by a foundation that only has a social purpose but is managed by a company in the form of a limited liability company in carrying out hospital activities. Based on Article 7 paragraph (4) of Law Number 44 the Year 2009 concerning Hospitals that a Hospital can be managed by a legal entity whose business activities are only engaged in the field of hospitals. Hospitals can be established by the Government, Local Government, or the private sector. Establishment by the private sector can be in the form of a foundation or limited company in managing hospitals. The organization of hospitals managed by the Foundation is different from limited companies. This difference can be seen from the philosophy of the Foundation whose business activities prioritize charity in providing health services to the community. In a Limited Liability Company, the profit of a company becomes the main goal in health services. This article intends to describe the characteristics of legal entities in private hospitals in Indonesia.
