Realization of the Right to Health Protection at the Local Level: Theory, Practice, Control

Abstract

In the modern domestic model of the development of federal relations and local self-government, the issues of protecting citizens’ health and providing medical care — especially in the face of new challenges associated with the spread of coronavirus infection — are becoming the sphere of interests of all levels of public authority ctioning in our country as a single system. Federal and regional authorities are responsible for particularly dangerous and complex diseases that require increased attention and qualifications from medical professionals and the entire healthcare system. The role of local government in this system is to provide medical care within its competence. Since September 2005, at the initiative of the President of Russia, priority national projects has been launched, including the Healthcare project. The main objective of the project is to improve the situation in healthcare and create conditions for the subsequent modernization of the entire medical support system. Currently, in the Russian Federation, within the framework of this national project, significant budgetary funds are allocated for the renewal and maintenance of domestic medicine. In this regard, issues such as public control over the targeted and effective use of budgetary resources, as well as the formation of management teams capable of ensuring the implementation of decisions taken, are of particular relevance.
