Bill on Hospitals

The Minister for Health submitted this Bill to the Special Committee of Commission IX of the House of Representatives (DPR) on 2 July 2008 for the purposes of this Bill being discussed and then enacted into law. The basic premise for this Bill is that the expansion in medical knowledge and technology combined with concurrent pushes for globalization and decentralization, plus greater demands from the community that health services be more open and transparent has meant that the managing of a hospital has become increasingly complex. This complexity demands that there be strict regulations in place that are conducive to legal enforcement and thereby providing greater levels of community satisfaction and legal certainty.
