On the implementation of certain “medical” amendments to the constitution of the Russian Federation

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.
