The newly enacted Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health ("Health Omnibus Law"), which came into effect on 8 August 2023, regulates on new issues concerning health services made through information communication technology, including telemedicine. Moreover, the Health Omnibus Law also introduces new terms on digital health tech, i.e., telehealth.
Telemedicine and telehealth are areas that are not yet fully developed in Indonesia. More detailed rulings on telehealth/telemedicine are to be regulated under government and Ministry of Health ("MOH") regulations as the implementing regulations of the Health Omnibus Law. They have not been issued yet.
In this client alert, we will provide a brief update on how telemedicine and telehealth are regulated post-Health Omnibus Law, and how these sectors are going to be regulated under the upcoming government regulation that is currently being drafted as the implementing regulation of the Health Omnibus Law ("Draft GR").
