Legal Framework for Health Technology in E-commerce: UAE and Indonesia

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare and contrast the regulatory environments in the UAE and Indonesia with regard to the online sale of health-related technologies. When it comes to healthcare that relies on technology, data privacy and the safety of digital transactions are paramount. Using a normative juridical approach, this study compares the rules in effect in the two nations by examining pertinent legal texts, doctrine, and literature. The research reveals that the United Arab Emirates has strengthened its legal framework, particularly in areas such as data protection and digital infrastructure security, with more stringent rules. The opposite is true in Indonesia, where a lack of public understanding of the significance of data security and difficulties in implementing existing laws have delayed the development of a robust legislative framework. These results shed light on the way the two nations' regulatory frameworks vary and point to the need for stronger rules governing health-related online transactions and data protection.
