The Idea of The Health Omnibus Law as a National Legal Policy in an Effort to Increase Public Health Degrees in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to examine the ontological aspects of health promotion in an effort to improve public health status and to analyze the health sector in the General Agreement on Trade in Services. This research also aims to offer the idea of omnibus law health as a national legal policy in an effort to improve public health status in Indonesia. This article uses normative legal research methods using statutory approaches, conceptual approaches, and analytical approaches. The study indicates that the idea of an omnibus law on health as a national legal policy in an effort to improve public health status in Indonesia is a challenge as well as an opportunity. Considering that the health service sector has an important contribution to the sustainable development goals presented by the United Nations, that is, one of the goals of sustainable development is for a healthy and prosperous life. Therefore, it is necessary to revise and harmonize regulations both nationally and internationally which are based on Pancasila values to ensure that the mission is realized to improve public health in a comprehensive manner that is equitable, fair, and affordable and has legal certainty.
