Abstract:

The article examines topical issues of legal regulation in the sphere of healthcare and provision of medical care to the population in the context of administrative responsibility. The main normative acts regulating administrative responsibility in the sphere of health care, key types of offences and applicable sanctions, including those related to the use of artificial intelligence and modern telecommunication and information technologies, are analyzed. The main problems of bringing to administrative responsibility for violations in the sphere of health protection and medical care provision are revealed. The ways of improving the legislation and law enforcement practice to improve the quality of medical care, state guarantees, protection of citizens’ rights in the field of health care are proposed, including definitions regulating administrative responsibility in this area. In our opinion, it is necessary to strengthen administrative responsibility for offences in the sphere of health protection and provision of medical care to the population, introduce state regulation measures to reduce administrative pressure within the framework of test systems of “regulatory sandboxes” for the adoption of new norms, as well as forms and methods of improving administrative legislation within the framework of administrative reform, bringing into compliance numerous contradictory regulations in this area.
