In the health-care system in the Russian Federation, the units providing medical care in outpatient and inpatient conditions employ more than 55,000 individuals of dental doctors of various specialties, dental doctors and dental hygienists every year from 2014 to 2018. The availability of dentistry by doctors tends to decline from 4.20 (2014) to 3.75 (2018). By 2018, 99.45% of dentistry doctors and 99.3% of dental doctors have a specialist certificate and accreditation certificate. 38.16% of dentistry doctors and 54.88% of dental doctors confirmed their qualification category. In dynamics there is a tendency to decrease the passing of certification for obtaining qualification category by these specialists. These facts show a decrease in the availability and quality of dental care, as it is ensured by the availability of the necessary number of health workers and their level of qualification.


The article considers the systems of remuneration in the organizations of the private health-care system in the Russian Federation on the basis of the analysis of works of modern scholars. A special attention is paid to medical workers having secondary jobs in organizations of the private health-care system. For such organizations in Russia, secondary-job employing is a common practice. The author substantiates the necessity of providing more freedom of parties of labour contracts without time limit determined by the Government of the Russian Federation and the Russian Ministry of Labour to prevent payments of illegal salary. Some changes to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation are proposed. In particular, the author suggests to introduce a rule under which parties of a secondary-job labour agreement may establish limits of working time by their consent and extend it.

The planning as a key function of management in health care system is focused on target indicators of population health and development of health care sector. The focusing on social economic values of target indicators and setting them as indicators of appropriateness and effectiveness of implementing activities is actual standard ofplanning. For all that, the technique of indicative planning in health care still requires to be putted to level of its theoretical substantiation (prerequisites of becoming, conceptual foundations, terms, requirements to evaluation) and implementation in practice. The example of the Republic of Ingushetia, one of the regions of the Russian Federation, was used to demonstrate becoming of indicative planning and its development with the purpose of effective management. The emphasis is made on terms system, approaches of choosing and monitoring of target indicators for indicative planning. To present the technique of indicative planning scientifically the monograph method (analysis of reports, statistical data of Rosstat, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and Ministry of Health of the Republic of Ingushetia) was applied. The SWOT analysis of the situation in health care of the region was applied. The infant mortality indicator became the reference point of evaluation of effectiveness of functioning of health care system and social economic reforming in the region. The level and dynamics of infant mortality indicator reflects shortcomings of medical care organization in the region and first of all absence of the three-level system of its rendering, routing according standards of medical care support of patients on main pathology profiles, including pregnant women, women in labor, newborns and children. According to situation, the investment decisions were made on the federal level. To what extent they will be effective i.e. what will be the reaction of values of target indicators of social economic development of the region, primarily indicators of infant mortality, the «road map» should demonstrate.

Objective. To analyze legislation regulating medical care for children with rheumatic diseases in the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. We analyzed regulatory documents of the Ministry of Health of Russia, including the rules of medical care for children with rheumatic diseases, the resolution regulating the distribution of medicines at a discount or for free, and regional legal acts regulating routing of children with rheumatic diseases. Results. The legislation regulating medical care for children with rheumatic diseases is imperfect and needs to be updated. We identified shortcomings in the system regulating preferential provision of certain groups of patients with medicines. The results of our analysis can be used as a rationale for changes and amendments to existing regulatory legal acts and for the development of new regulatory documents. Conclusion. This analysis of legal documents allows us to suggest amendments to the existing legal framework in order to reduce tensions (including legal tensions) associated with distribution of preferential medicines, reconsider establishment of disability in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, expand opportunities to prescribe biologicals for non-disabled patients with systemic scleroderma, juvenile dermatomyositis, and systemic vasculitis in regions. We justified detailed description of regional legal documents regulating distribution of preferential medicines among patients with rheumatic diseases. Key words: rheumatic diseases in children, regulatory framework, health care organization, drug provision

Palliative care as a separate type of medical care was enshrined in legislation 10 years ago. However, the law-making process is still ongoing. The guidelines for this type of medical care for adults and children have been approved twice. It must be noted amendments to the Federal Law in 2019 (which significantly expanded the definition and consolidated the "varieties" for the provision of palliative care), and the interdepartmental Regulation on the organization of the provision of this type of assistance was approved (which now includes not only the guidelines for this type of medical care for adults and children, but also provides for the guidelines for interdepartmental interaction). In addition, since 2019, regional programs for the development of palliative care in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are being developed. Together with these documents, an action plan was approved for the implementation of the Strategy for the Development of Healthcare of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025, in which the development of palliative care is designated as activities; action plan has been approved ("road map") "Improving the quality and availability of palliative care" until 2024 was approved, among the tasks of which: improving legal regulation, increasing the availability and quality of painkillers, developing infrastructure for providing palliative care in the constituent entities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, training of specialists (medical personnel, clinical psychologists, social workers), public awareness about the provision of this type of medical care, the implementation of a multidisciplinary approach.

The article considers the issue of branch affiliation of medical law. In particular, numerous studies conducted by recognized experts and scientists on the independence of the field of medical law are analyzed. The relevance of the allocation of medical law in a separate branch of law of Ukraine is highlighted. Since the sectoral affiliation of medical law remains uncertain, this indicates the relevance, feasibility and necessity of a comprehensive study of the sectoral affiliation of medical law of Ukraine. In general, it is determined that medical law is a complex branch of law that includes a set of legal norms that regulate public relations in the health care system. The review of literature sources summarizes the state of the legal framework for the regulation of medical activities in Ukraine. When considering various sources and scientific works, the state of the regulatory framework for the regulation of medical activities and the health care system in Ukraine is summarized. The relevance of the allocation of medical law in a separate branch of law of Ukraine is highlighted. For this purpose, state bodies face the task of creating a separate complex branch of medical law. And before scientists - the development of medical jurisprudence as a separate branch of legal science. It can be concluded that such a document as the Medical Code of Ukraine is one of the tools for implementing the state health policy. Methods of improving and overcoming problematic situations in the system of legal regulation of health care are considered. The general provisions of the Medical Code are defined and the important features which should be contained in the corresponding codified act are specified.

The article suggests legislative implementation of certain “medical” amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The authors propose to add two articles to the Federal law “on the basics of public health protection in the Russian Federation” dated 21.11.2011 N323-FZ. In one article, it is proposed to reveal and specify the content of the newly introduced in the Constitution of the Russian Federation concept “unified legal bases of the health care system”. Another proposed article reveals the forms and content of work on the coordination of health issues, again referred by the Constitution of the Russian Federation to the joint responsibility of the Russian Federation and the subjects of the Russian Federation. According to the authors, the proposed changes in legislation will allow to ensure in practice the proper implementation of “medical” amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which in turn will ensure the improvement of legal regulation of the organization and activities of health care, and strengthen its material and technical base.

Background. The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (HCE) is quite high in the Russian Federation (RF), and it is associated with clinical consequences and with potential economic impact. Impact includes not only cost of its correction, but also the cost of treatment of diseases and complications, as well as the deficiency of the gross domestic product (GDP).Aim. Evaluation of economic impact due to HCE in the Russian population, including direct expenditures of the Health Care System as well as nondirect impact in common economy.Material and methods. Prevalence of HCE in the RF was identified based on local published studies. Local statistical data (2016) on cardio-vascular diseases (CVDs), including Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD), Myocardial Infarction and cerebral-vascular disease were included in the analysis. Population Attributive Risk (PAR) of HCE in CVDs has been extrapolated on all Russian population. Official statistics, parameters of Govern Guarantees Program of Free Medical Aid were used for modelling of direct and non-direct components of economic impact. Total amount of premature deaths with calculation of years of potential life lost until life expectation at 72 years was calculated. Economic impact due to premature CVDs mortality in economic activity age with consideration on ratio of employment have included GDP lost. Calculation of GDP lost also included monetary impact based on number of disability CVDs patients multiplied on GDP per capita in disability group.Results.Visits to policlinics of patients with CVDs and HCE had a first place among all calls for medical aid. In the same time, hospitalization required in higher expenditures (outpatients cost treatment expenditures were 2.43 billion RUR, in-patients treatment – 18.21 billion RUR). IHD with HCE was most expensive for direct expenditures in comparison with other CVD groups: more than 28.9 billion RUR per year, and with direct non-medical expenditures of 29.3 billion RUR in total. Years of potential life lost in economic active age were one million in total, 1.29 trillion RUR per year mostly due to indirect expenditures due to premature deaths in economy activity age (99% of impact). Total Economic impact due to HCE in the Russian population for all HCE are estimated as 1.295 trillion RUR.Conclusion. Total economic impact due to HCE in the RF is 1.5% of GDP (2016), 1.295 trillion RUR. Direct expenditures included Health Care System expenses; disability covering had 2.3% only. Main part of impact is economic lost due to premature mortality and decrease of labor productivity. HCE patients control at target levels with help of healthy lifestyle and adequate pharmaceutical therapy can decrease economic impact.
