Hospital health services are essentially provided through the use of medication and care. However, medicines are the main cause of undesirable things in hospitals due to the fact that mistakes in prescriptions do not only affect patients but also the reputation of hospitals and health workers. This has, therefore, led to the focus on the problem of responsibility on the part of healthcare providers and the protection of patients. The purpose of this study was to provide information on medication errors, understanding the legal protection of patients after a negative effect and loss, as well as the role of pharmacy and health workers regarding drug prescriptions in hospitals. The results encompassed the forms of criminal, civil and administrative responsibility from pharmacists, nurses, and doctors except for delegate nurses. It further revealed that standard operating procedures are needed, either on drugs or more comprehensive doctor delegation actions, to reduce errors in prescriptions in hospitals. The focus should, therefore, be more on nursing and pharmacist laws. Additionally, provision of training to the various staff members in the hospitals is much necessary as it can increase their learning capabilities and dealing with the drugs in more responsible way. Such training facility to the human resource of the hospitals can further provide positive outcomes for various industries in public health with entrepreneurial potential. However, the moderating effect of gender between training facilities and industries in public health with entrepreneurial potential can also assumed a tentative contribution in the existing literature too.
