In addition, the criteria for delimiting the corpus delicti, providing liability for causing death by negligence and carelessness, on the basis of which recommendations on the qualification of the offense are proposed. The authors have developed recommendations for improving the application of criminal law in relation to medical workers. The work used materials of criminal cases in which the subjects of crimes were medical workers.
