The use of online-based health services has increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the licensing for the implementation of online-based health services is still unclear, Article 4 paragraph (2) PP No. 47 of 2016 concerning Health Service Facilities states that "in certain cases to fulfill health services and the development of science and technology, the Minister may determine the type of health service facility other than the type of health facility as referred to in paragraph (1)". However, there are no further provisions regarding the licensing of health care facilities that are stipulated in certain circumstances. The purpose of this study is to analyze and identify how the authority to grant licenses for the provision of online-based health services is in Indonesia and how is the form of licensing for online-based health services in Indonesia.
