Abstract

Birth defects or congenital anomalies affect an estimated 1 in 33 infants, resulting in 3.2 million children with disabilities related to birth defects every year and 2.68 million infant mortality, 11.3% cause by birth defects. South-East Asia Region has the second highest prevalence of birth defects in the world, 9% of under-five deaths and 12% of newborn deaths in South-East Asia Region were due to congenital anomalies in 2015. Related to this phenomenon, since 1976 the United Kingdom was established the law which is strictly protect the children from the congenital anomalies. This law was established by considering the congenital anomalies in consequence of some persons fault since genetic is not the only causative factor of the congenital anomalies but could also be happened due to the someones act. By considering the condition of South-East Asia Region as the second highest occurrence of Birth defects, Indonesia have to take an action in order to prevent or reduce the number of Birth defects. The existence of the Child Protection Act in Indonesia currently does not cover the issue of the congenital anomalies. There should be a revision upon the law in order to handle the phenomena of congenital anomalies. Through this research, authors aim to show the urgency of the prevention upon the congenital anomalies effect through the law in order to provide the protection and clear responsibility upon the children with congenital anomalies.
