ABSTRACT Two-thirds of Indonesia's territory is mostly waters. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1982 stated that the area of ​​Indonesian waters is 5.8 million km2 and there are 27.2% of all flora and fauna species. Algae is one of the most abundant biological resources in Indonesian waters, which is about 8.6%. In Indonesian waters, there are about 28 species of brown algae from six genera including Dyctyota, Padine, Hormophysa, Sargassum, Turbinaria andHydroclathrus. Brown al-gae have a large alginate content in their cell walls, approximately 40% of their dry weight. The alginate contained in brown al-gae canbe used in industrial fields, such as the dental impression material industry. The main active ingredients in the manufac-ture of irreversible hydrocolloid impression materials are sodium alginate, potassium alginate, and triethanolamine alginate. Sodium alginate and potassium alginate can be extracted from brown algae species such as Sargassum sp.

This study examines the extent to which the implementation of the rights and obligations of Public and Private General Hospitals in Makassar City and the obstacles that make these rights and obligations difficult to implement. The research method used in this study is the empirical method. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the rights and obligations at the Regional General Hospital (Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah/RSUD) of Makassar City and the Mother and Child Hospital (Rumah Sakit Ibu dan Anak/RSIA) Ananda has carried out the rights and obligations of the hospital simultaneously. However, in the implementation of these rights and obligations, there are still several obstacles, such as community habits, administrative completeness that does not meet minimum service standards, and other supporting infrastructure. Especially for Makassar City Hospital, the data for health personnel has not been updated as mandated by the Government Regulation on the Implementation of the Hospital Sector. Meanwhile, RSIA Ananda must improve the facilities and infrastructure of the hospital parking lot so that health services can be more optimal and effective, and efficient to carry out.
