Physician: Offenses Against Professional Ethics and The Exercise of Rights under Administrative Law

Abstract

        Practicing medicine, doctors should comply with professional ethics in order to build trust in service recipients according to the expectations of society. The actions of doctors who violate ethics have resulted in society wanting to investigate more violations of medical ethics, both by filing complaints with professional organizations and by filing lawsuits with the Administrative court.

       The Medical Council is a professional organization responsible for overseeing practitioners. In case the complaint is grounded, an ethics subcommittee will be established. The investigation results of the subcommittee will be reported to the Medical Council Committee along with recommendations for disciplinary actions, which may include warnings, on the proposal to impose ethical penalties. probation, suspension or revocation of professional license.

In the case of the petitioner or the respondent who is affected by the rights under the ethical decision of the Medical Council and considers that the decision is incorrect, the result of the investigation can be filed with the Administrative Court within 90 days from the date of knowing the cause of action without appealing the order. Studies have found that, in principle, the decisions of the Administrative Court generally do not change the orders issued by the Medical Council, unless the order is unlawful.
