Abstract

The peculiarities of regulating legal relations concerning the provision of free medical care to the population and their social security means are manifested in the norms of branches of social security law of administrative law. One of the additional elements of providing citizens with free medical care is medicines. All the legislation of our country in the field of medicines provides social protection to the population by supplying cheap and high-quality medicines to a wide range of citizens and contributing to a narrow circle of certain categories of citizens with medicines on a free or partial basis. Although the mechanisms of drug provision to the population are fixed by legal norms, the theoretical and scientific foundations of the inseparable connection between the concepts of social security and drug provision have not been studied. The subject of the article is national and foreign legislation in the field of drug provision, as well as the research work of scientists. During the research, such methods as historicism, system analysis, comparative-legal, logical, generalizing, complex analysis of scientific sources were used. Based on the results of the research work, a general conclusion was drawn and proposals were developed to introduce the concept of “drug provision” into the relevant legislation and give it a legal definition.
