LEGAL CULTURE OF PHARMACIST IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF PHARMACEUTICAL SERVICES STANDARD IN PHARMACIES
Abstract: Pharmacists are
burdened with obligations as cited in Regulation of the Minister of Health, No.
35 of 2014 on the Standards of Pharmaceutical Services in Pharmacy. This paper
uses socio-legal approach aiming at examining the norms associated with the
protection of the patient’s safety. The applicability of the rules faces some
obstacles since the legal culture of apathy still exist, so that the
understanding and awareness of legal compliance is not achieved. Legal culture
of apathy regarding ideas, concepts, perceptions, views, values and behaviors
that are not constructive, affect the workings of law towards the observance
and compliance to the law, as a result, the purpose of the law to provide
justice and legal certainty to the practicians suchas pharmacists, patients and
owner of the pharmacy services, are not fully able to interpret the substance
of the regulation of the Minister of Health, Number 35 of 2014. As a result of
this legal culture, the implementation of the Regulation of the Minister of
Health No. 35 of 2014 is directed more on aspects of benefactive purpose than
on the aspect of legal certainty.
