PATIENT RIGHTS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: THE DILEMMA BETWEEN DATA PRIVACY AND TRANSPARENCY IN INDONESIA

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic demands adjustment in transmission control, including data transparency. Indonesia is one country that discloses data regarding vaccines, boosters, and other health information through an integrated application called "Peduli Lindungi". However, this application is prone to data leakage because it uses a Citizen Identity Number to register. At the same time, the application is mandatory for all Indonesians to enter public spaces, especially international flights. This research will illustrate if Indonesia's Government could provide a bridge between patient privacy while providing the necessary data for transmission control purposes. This is normative research using secondary data sources.
