Abstract
According to the information of the Bank of Judicial Acts of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan, from 2017 to 2019, 39 appeals were received in the Republic of Kazakhstan to initiate administrative and criminal cases against medical workers, 90% of which were considered with sentencing. An analysis of the data obtained showed that the largest number of appeals is noted in the Karaganda and East Kazakhstan regions, while in the West Kazakhstan region there are no such appeals (Bank of Judicial Acts of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 2020).The purpose of this study: To analyze the dynamics of the prevalence of medical criminal and administrative offenses in the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period 2017-2021.Methods. A descriptive study was conducted based on official information from the Committee on Legal Statistics and Special Accounts of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The results of the study were analyzed using descriptive statistics methods.Results. We have identified an increase in deaths from medical criminal offenses in 2020-2021, despite the general trend of a decrease in such offenses. The city of Astana and the South Kazakhstan region are the leaders in the number of offenses. The main violations are related to improper performance of professional duties. High rates of administrative offenses were recorded in the field of pharmaceuticals and medical device handling in 2020. There was also an increase in fines for these violations. The total number of administrative penalties has increased significantly since 2018 and in recent years.Conclusions. The results of this study can serve as a starting point and a basis for the development of recommendations or guidelines that will be widely applied to improve the quality and safety of medical care, as well as to reduce the negative impact of complaints against medical professionals both on a personal and professional level. The results obtained can be used by stakeholders in the field of healthcare
