Analysis of Kazakhstan legislation regulating the labour of medical and pharmaceutical workers

Abstract

The article analyzes the provisions of the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan «On Health of people and healthcare system» dated July 7, 2020, as well as several departmental regulatory acts regulating the labor of medical and pharmaceutical workers, which were adopted in compliance with this Code. Chapter 30 «The status of medical and pharmaceutical workers» of this Code identifies gaps in the status, rights, duties, and social guarantees of this category of workers and offers specific measures to eliminate them. The Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated November 23, 2015, is not included in the scope of the analyzed legislation due to the absence of norms on the labor of medical and pharmaceutical workers in it. The article also covers the need to adopt a new law of the Republic of Kazakhstan «On the status of medical and pharmaceutical workers». It shows the defects of departmental regulatory acts on the provision of remote medical services, the rules for certification of health managers, personnel accounting, incentives, differentiated surcharges, and salary allowances for employees of health care subjects, which arose because of the conscientious delusion of developers, timely elimination of which will have a positive impact on law-making practice.
