Abstract


Telemedicine is needed for several health service constraints such as the uneven distribution of doctors in all regions. Singapore is a country that has special regulations in the implementation of telemedicine, including for telemedicine service providers. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a comparative study of regulations regarding telemedicine service providers in Indonesia and Singapore in order to develop specific regulations regarding telemedicine in Indonesia, because telemedicine service providers are one of the important factors besides service users and service systems, in order to realize optimal and standardized telemedicine services. to produce a discussion of the existing Telemedicine Service Provider license regulations in Indonesia and Singapore and to produce a discussion of the necessary regulations in Indonesia relating to Telemedicine Service Providers. This research uses a normative research method with a statutory approach and a comparative approach, The research shows that Indonesia does not yet have specific, detailed and clear regulations for Telemedicine Service Providers, while in Singapore the Ministry of Health has implemented a telemedicine regulatory approach using a regulatory sandbox, so that regulations can be adjusted to real and specific circumstances. The practice of telemedicine is permitted if carried out by a Doctor registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) and takes reference from the SMC Ethical Code and Ethical Guidelines, Telemedicine practice is supervised by the National Telemedicine Guidelines (NTG) in planning and providing care.
