The paper reflects the state of the modern healthcare system and various enforcements of the right to medical care guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The right to health, as well as the provision of qualified, free, and timely health care, are among the most important and fundamental human rights. The paper also features some key enforcement problems concerning the right to health protection and medical care, guaranteed by Article 41 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, e.g. a lack of medical personnel, untimely provision of the first aid, and insufficient financing in the health care system. The article also considers the causes and consequences of "staff shortages" in Russian hospitals, employment of medical graduates, and financial support of young medical specialists. The author analyzes the equipment status of medical organizations in 2018 and 2016, voices the problem of optimization in healthcare institutions by reducing the inpatient level and expanding outpatient clinics, and offers statistics of complaints to the Department of Public Health on quality and timeliness of medical care. The author believes that the enforcement of the right of citizens guaranteed by Article 41 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation can be characterized as very low, which indicates the pretentiousness of the law.

Does the global trading system operate to the detriment of human rights? Some people think so. Many argue that trade policy interferes with a nation's capacity to develop its own human rights policies in the areas of health, nutrition, and medical services. This article examines that contention by studying how World Trade Organization (WTO) rules limit a country's ability to uphold the right to health for its citizens and suggests ways that human rights norms and mechanisms can be employed as counterweights to socially harmful WTO polices. The author concludes that most commentators agree that human rights are inalienable and thus would prevail in a judicial setting and that human rights mechanisms have been underused by proponents of public health.

С одним из личных прав человека, - правом на жизнь - неразрывно связано наиболее важное право осужденного на охрану здоровья, закрепленное в ч. 6 ст. 12 Уголовно-исполнительного кодекса Российской Федерации. Данное право выражается в осуществлении в отношении осужденных первичной медико-санитарной помощи либо специализированной медицинской помощи в стационарных либо амбулаторных условиях. Как становится очевидным, наибольшую актуальность данная проблема получает в стенах исправительного учреждения, ведь именно принудительная изоляция негативно сказывается на физическом или психическом здоровье осужденного, в связи с чем в рамках исполнения наказания в виде лишения свободы нужно предусмотреть комплекс мер по реализации данного права. В статье проведен анализ нормативно-правовых актов, которые содержат в себе нормы-принципы и нормы-рекомендации в отрасли прав осужденных к лишению свободы на охрану здоровья и оказание медицинской помощи, и изучено содержание данного права. В проведенном исследовании также рассмотрены основные направления реализации права осужденных на оказание медицинской помощи, а также предложены пути их реформирования. При изучении новых направлений оказания медицинской помощи осужденным авторами выявлено, что многие из этих направлений - перспективные. В конце делается вывод о необходимости реализации указанных авторами рекомендаций в правоприменительной деятельности.The most important right of a convicted person is the right to health, which is inextricably linked to one of the personal human rights, the right to life. Part 6 of article 12 of the Criminal Executive code of the Russian Federation stipulates that prisoners have the right to health protection (receiving primary health care and specialized medical care in outpatient or inpatient conditions, depending on the medical report). As it becomes obvious, the greatest relevance of this problem gets within the walls of the correctional institution, because it is forced isolation that has a negative impact on the physical or mental health of the convict, for this reason, within the framework of the execution of deprivation of liberty, it is necessary to provide a set of measures to implement this right. In this article the analysis of normative legal acts, which contain norms-principles and norms-recommendations in the field of the rights of convicts to imprisonment for health protection and medical care, was carried out, and the very content of this right is studied.The study also examines all the main areas of realization of the right of convicts to medical care, as well as suggests ways to reform it. Despite the rather contradictory nature of trends in the provision of medical care to convicts, several ways to improve it have been outlined in recent years. Some of them were unpromising, while others give us hope that the situation will change for the better with the provision of medical care to convicts. Summing up, we can say that it is necessary to implement these recommendations in law enforcement.
