Professional Disciplinary Council (MDP), Mar’ie Mahfudz HarahapAbstract
This study discusses the role of the Professional Disciplinary Council (MDP) in determining the existence of medical malpractice offenses before a case is brought to the general courts. This study is motivated by the need for a more objective assessment mechanism so that alleged errors by medical personnel are not immediately processed as criminal offenses without adequate professional disciplinary assessment. The method used is normative legal research by examining primary legal materials in the form of Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health, Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code, and related regulations, as well as secondary legal materials in the form of books, journals, and legal doctrines. The research questions include the role and procedures of the MDP in handling medical malpractice, the forms of criminal liability for medical personnel under the Criminal Code and the Health Law, and the perspective of Islamic criminal law on the criminal liability of medical personnel. The results of the study indicate that the MDP serves as the initial gateway for disciplinary assessment, whereas criminal liability can only be imposed if there is fault, negligence, and a legally provable causal relationship.
