CONCEPT OF LEGAL REGULATION OF CHILDREN’S HEALTH

Abstract

By the end of the 20th century, the relevance of problems in the field of children’s health care was associated with the low efficiency of the implementation of the “Fundamentals of legislation of the Russian Federation on the protection of the health of citizens” dated July 22, 1993 No. 5487-1, which led to the adoption in 2011 of the Federal Law “On the Fundamentals of Protection health of citizens in the Russian Federation” No. 323-FZ. However, according to a number of comments, issues of protecting children’s health do not fully comply with the current requirements in the healthcare sector of the Russian Federation. In the article, on the basis of scientifically based provisions, the author’s concept of legal regulation of children’s healthcare in the Russian Federation (Concept) is developed and its main provisions are formulated. It has been proven that the author’s Concept should act as a result of the positive activities of the state policy of legal regulation of children’s healthcare in the Russian Federation, systematizing a number of key provisions of the legal institutions of the legislative framework for restrictions on the scope of action. It is argued that the working concept faces this fundamental gap in terms of the general regulation of children’s healthcare issues in the Russian Federation — the lack of a basic law, the possibility of implementing an effective mechanism for regulating relations in the field of children’s healthcare in the Russian Federation, aimed at ensuring children’s rights — health protection and assistance.
