Забезпечення права на охорону здоров’я: міжнародно-правовий аспект

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of international legal aspects of ensuring the constitutional right to protect health in Ukraine in the modern development of the social state and modernization of the legal regulation of public relations. It is argued that the implementation of international legal standards is an important area of reforming the field of medical care and legal support for the provision of medical services, since health care reform requires intensifying the implementation of universal and regional standards in order to create an effective institutional system and an appropriate legislative framework. The health sector is one of the most important objects of public administration, since the social level of the welfare of the people and each individual citizen, the potential for sustainable development of the nation and the economic opportunities of the state and society directly depend on the quality of the provision of medical services. It is noted that the study of the general principles of international legal regulation of health care is of exceptional relevance at the present stage is constantly growing in the context of expanding the scope of international public law to issues that previously traditionally belonged to the sphere of regulation of domestic legislation of individual countries. One of these areas of legal regulation is the social sphere and, in particular, the health sector. In this area, the development and adoption of a large number of universal and regional international legal standards regarding the means of ensuring the proper level of public health, combating infectious and non-communicable diseases, and organizational reform of the system of health care institutions is observed. Thus, the standardization of the right to health care at the level of universal human rights standards is an important guarantee of the realization of this right at the domestic level, imposing on states, including Ukraine, responsibilities for its proper and effective provision. At the same time, general international human rights legal acts, which, among other objects of regulation, determine fundamental international standards in the field of health care, form the basic basis for ensuring the constitutional right to health care at the level of individual national legal systems.
