 Subjects

Abstract

Introduction. The problem of ensuring equal scope of the right to palliative medical care of citizens living
 on the territory of various subjects of the Russian Federation is raised. The article describes the current legal
 regulation of palliative care in the Russian Federation and the existing problems of providing it. Purpose. The
 author aims to determine the place of legal regulation in the mechanism of ensuring the right to palliative
 medical care and ways to increase the degree of guarantee of this right. Methodology. Methods of analysis
 and synthesis, formal-logical and comparative-legal methods are used. Results. A brief overview of the current
 legal regulation at the Federal level and in the subjects of the Russian Federation is given, and the different
 scope of the right to palliative medical care of citizens living on the territory of different subjects of the Russian
 Federation is recorded. The article highlights the consequences of different approaches to the legal regulation of
 the issues under consideration, and suggests changes to them. Population by sex and age, the structure of its
 incidence and the degree of disability in subjects of the Russian Federation are not the same, and the bodies of
 state power of subjects of this level have the ability to define the needs of the population in the form of medical
 care that is consistent with the goal inherent in the activities of the bodies of state power of subjects of the
 Russian Federation in the field of social security, namely with regard to the influence of the specific features on
 the life of citizens and securing a reasonable differentiation of social security. Conclusion. It is concluded that
 it is necessary to fix the guarantee of palliative medical care in the normative legal acts of the subjects of the
 Russian Federation regulating the issues of public health protection, regardless of the territory of living, gender,
 age, diagnosis and stage of treatment.
