TO THE QUESTION OF THE LEGAL MECHANISM FOR ENSURING THE FUNCTION OF HEALTHCARE IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Purpose of the study. The article deals with the legal support of the healthcare function in the Russian Federation. Currently, the existing social conditions for the life and health of citizens also imply the need to improve the legal regulation of existing medical institutions and organizations. This is especially noticeable in the current economic environment. However, this predetermines the need for a systematic study and analysis of the legal regulation of public health. Currently, the number of studies on the problem of ensuring the right of citizens to medical care is insignificant. This is due to the current established legal mechanisms at the federal and regional levels, as well as the processes of implementing this mechanism. The research methods were analysis, synthesis, empirical methods, comparison. The scientific novelty lies in the presented measures to improve the efficiency of the legal mechanism for ensuring the health care function in the Russian Federation, as well as in the developed priority areas of development. Conclusions: the provision of services for free medical care depends on the direct composition of this care, its dynamic elements, while the statistical elements remain unchanged. Compliance with all the principles of providing medical care is the main condition for further reforming the health care system of the Russian Federation. We believe that compliance with the above provisions is a necessary condition for further reform and improvement of the existing free healthcare system.
