The Right

Due to the development of modern resuscitation during anesthesia and surgical operations, methods of intensive therapy have been introduced in clinical medicine. Efforts, through cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), to give any patient in need the chance to survive resulted in systems of emergency medical services (EMS). A short account of the present state of CCM in the CSSR is given here. The principle of “differentiated patient care” is outlined, with accepted definitions of resuscitative and intensive care. The terminology of different steps in CCM is offered for discussion.In Czechoslovakia, the Constitution of 1960 proclaims the right to health care for every citizen. Medical care is provided to all citizens free of charge by the State. The State took over the responsibility for planning, organizing and providing medical care on the highest attainable contemporary level. In the last ten years, special programs have been launched in order to cover most actual health areas such as neonatal and maternal health care, cardiovascular disease programs, oncology, geriatric care, and, last but not least, the care of patients with acute organ systems' failure.

It has been reported that suboptimal communication represents the largest source of preventable error during acute medical care. Because a significant proportion of ongoing care relies heavily on verbal communication, it is incumbent on clinicians to develop, hone and maintain these skills in the interests of their patients and, at the same time, contribute to a more reliable and patient-focused health care system. This review briefly discusses why communication matters, practical strategies from both inside and outside clinical medicine, the implications of poor translation and the state of medical communication in Canada.

The purpose of the paper is to analyze the current legislation on medical reform in the context of harmonization with international standards. In the conditions of social state building in Ukraine, the thesis is axiomatic regarding that the state should show concern for their citizens, including for the protection of their health. In this context, it is relevant to study the implementation of medical reform in Ukraine, since its content and the degree to which the proclaimed provisions are enforced depend on the ability of each person to access quality health care. Methodology. The article is based on international legal acts, laws and by-laws of Ukraine in the field of legal regulation of medical care. Both general scientific and special methodology were used for the research. Methods of analysis and synthesis, method of description, method of induction, method of deduction, method of correlation, etc. were applied. Results. The article defines the directions for harmonization of the legislation of Ukraine on health protection in accordance with international standards. Based on the ECHR practice, proposals have been formulated to improve the legislation of Ukraine. Conclusions. The ECHR has repeatedly concluded that the right to health is complex and includes: the right to information about one's health and the confidentiality of such information; the right to health care; the right to choose the doctor and the remedies freely; the right to a safe environment that affects health and so on. The state does not cover all aspects of providing medical care to citizens, but resorts to limited funding, since the state budget funds are only one of the types of sources of financing. Practical implications. We have formulated the following tasks: to analyze Ukraine's international legal obligations regarding health care; to identify major changes in health care financing and health care delivery in line with health care reform standards in Ukraine; to identify major health care funding issues.

The Right

The Constitution of the United States of Mexico, in its Article Number 4, provides for the right to health care. The government's National Health Program was created to comply with this mandate. This program comprises a National Health Care System. This system has three branches. The first one is Social Security, which encompasses 50% of the population of Mexico—namely 45 million affiliates. Out of this popu lation, 10 million are under the “Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social-Solidaridad.”This program is financed by federal resources, is self-managed by the “Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social” and provides health care to the general population (basically farmers). The rest of the population that receives benefits from the Social Security System includes employees, blue-collar workers (affiliated with the “Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social“), federal and state-government workers (who receive benefit from “Instituto de Seguridad Social de los Trabajadores al Servicio del Estado”) and the military personnel (who are affiliated with the “Instituto de Seguridad Social de las Fuerzas Armadas”). These institutes are jointly financed by employers, the state, and the workers.The payment percentage is established depending on the worker's income. For state workers and armed forces it represents 2% of the income of the employee and another 2% is paid by the state; those depending on die Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social pay 3.5% of their salary and 8.4% is paid by die employer.

The aim: To analyze the features of the realization mechanism of the persons’ rights who have become ill with a mental illness and are in the detention of adequate (equivalent) medical care. Materials and methods: A set of general and special methods of scientific knowledge were used. The study’s empirical basis consists of international acts and standards in the field of health care, statistics of the United Kingdom, France, the United States, some countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, reports of international organizations, the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. The study also used the personal experience of one of the co-authors as a lawyer for more than 20 years and 4 years as a judge of the Supreme Court. Results: The conducted research gives grounds to state that for the last few decades the problem of receiving psychiatric care in conditions of imprisonment remains relevant. This situation is partly due to the fact that the certain standards’ content is subject to clarification, as it is contained in optional international instruments or is given some understanding solely through the practice of the ECHR. Given the implementation of the prisoners’ right of access to psychiatric care is entrusted primarily to penitentiary institution’s administration, attention should be paid to methodological, material, and staffing of their work while introducing maximum openness of psychiatric care’s algorithms to prisoners and facilitating access to legal aid for the mentally ill. Conclusions: Creating external attributes of mechanisms to ensure the convicts’ right to psychiatric care, the relevant national mechanisms do not take into account the specifics of the detained persons’ legal status. Such a superficial imitation of the system of guarantees of the prisoners’ rights to medical care is a kind of cargo cultism of public institutions, which is designed to provide non-discriminatory conditions for the realization of the right to health care for all categories of the population.

The article analyzes the state guarantee of the right of citizens to quality medical care in terms of vaccination from COVID-19. It is determined that in today's conditions it is extremely important to ensure the proper functioning of health care, the provision of quality medical services which in turn will guarantee proper medical care. The state must provide the citizens of Ukraine not only with the vaccine, but also with reliable information about the need for vaccination. It turns out that the small number of vaccinated in Ukraine is not only due to the slow pace of procurement and vaccination, but also the lack of awareness of citizens about all the benefits of the need for vaccination. It is concluded that the positive in today's conditions are: the efforts of the legislator still not to influence the subjective choice of every resident of Ukraine on the need for vaccination; regulatory support of the Center for Public Health, which in turn will strengthen the network of regional Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CCP); creation of a Roadmap for the introduction of a vaccine against acute respiratory disease COVID-19 caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
