Abstract

Indonesia as a rule of law, where almost all provisions must be contained in legislation. From the health aspect, it’s also inseparable from the legal aspect, one of which is circumcision. Circumcision is a medical and invasive procedure whose implementation and evaluation is monitored by experts and professionals. In this study, I raised several legal health issues, namely: Do all health care professionals have the competence to perform circumcision actions under the health law? The aim of this study was to determine the legal aspects of the circumcision of boys by home service doctors and the liability of doctors in the event of disability or even death. This research method is legal normative. Based on the results of the literature study, The authority for circumcision in boys is only with doctors, this is evidenced by the 2012 Indonesian Doctors’ Competence Standards which are proficiency level 4A, meaning doctors are able to perform circumcision actions independently. Authority for circumcision can be delegated through a warrant by healthcare professionals, so it’s necessary for a body to issue a certificate of competence for healthcare circumcision workers so that doctors can delegate authority only to competent health professionals.
