Health crimes in hospitals are a serious problem that can have a direct impact on patient safety and public trust in medical services. Criminal law plays an important role in dealing with various violations in the health sector, such as malpractice, medical negligence, and abuse of authority by medical personnel or hospital management. In the context of health law, criminal regulations aim to provide legal protection for patients and ensure that every provision of health services is in accordance with the set standards. Therefore, the analysis of the application of criminal law in health cases in hospitals is very relevant in efforts to uphold justice and prevent similar violations from occurring in the future. This study aims to examine how criminal law is applied to violations in the field of hospital health, both in terms of regulation and law implementation in the field. This analysis includes determining the elements of health crimes, the sanctions given, and the role of law enforcement officials in cracking down on cases that occur. By understanding how criminal law is applied in the hospital environment, this study is expected to provide recommendations to improve the effectiveness of law enforcement in the health sector. The research method used is a juridical-normative method, which focuses on analyzing the laws and regulations that regulate criminal acts in the health sector, such as Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health, as well as the provisions in the Criminal Code (KUHP). In addition, this study also examines legal doctrines and various court decisions related to health crime cases to understand how legal norms are applied in judicial practice. The results of the study show that although criminal law regulations have regulated sanctions against health crimes in hospitals, their implementation still faces various obstacles, such as difficulties in proving the element of negligence, lack of legal understanding among medical personnel, and weak supervision of health practices.
