Abstract

The implementation of laws concerning the safeguarding of eye organ transplantation in Indonesia remains quite limited, particularly concerning donors, recipients, and the medical staff involved. In contrast, Sri Lanka places stronger emphasis on legal safeguards for all participants in eye organ transplantation, including healthcare professionals. Consequently, both Indonesia and Sri Lanka need to enhance and optimize their respective legal frameworks to provide comprehensive protection for everyone involved. This study focuses on examining the scope and The characteristics of legal safeguards provided to donors, recipients, and healthcare professionals in relation to corneal transplantation in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. The primary objective is to analyze how legal safeguards are implemented for the parties engaged in this medical procedure in both countries. A normative and comparative legal research approach is employed in this study. In Indonesia, legal protection for medical personnel, organ donors, and recipients is Regulated under Law No. 36 of 2009 on Health and Government Regulation No. 53 of 2021 concerning Human Organ Transplantation. In Sri Lanka, the legal structure relies on the Transplantation of Human Tissue Act of 1987. Establishing clear and well-defined legal regulations is crucial to ensure both the safety and legal certainty of donors, recipients, and healthcare professionals participating in the transplantation process.
