Abstract: In the modern world, primary healthcare is the basic element of the healthcare system. To ensure its efficiency and improve state management in this area, it is necessary to improve the legislative base. The object of this research is the public relations that form in the process of organizing and carrying out primary healthcare assistance in the Russian Federation. The subject is the norms of the federal legislation, as well as legislation of the subjects of the Russian federation that regulate the order of provision of medical aid to Russian citizens. The conducted research demonstrated that the Federal Law “On the basics of primary healthcare of the citizens of the Russian Federation” and orders issued to carry out this law by the executive branches of the government have a number of contradictions, which impedes efficient regulation. The authors determine multiple relevant issues in the modern system of administration of the healthcare facilities.

Abstract: The aim of the research is to analyze the principles of the legal regulation of medical-sanitary aid in out-patient organisations. The authors also define the main areas of development and problems of implementation of citizens' rights to health care. The object of this research is the social relations arising in the course of medical-sanitary aid in out-patient clinics. The subject of the research is the legal norms that enforce the principles of medical-sanitary aid in the Russian Federation. In the course of their research the authors have used general research and special law research methods which allowed to carry out an in-depth analysis of the principles of the legal regulation of the medical-sanitary aid in out-patient clinics. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the authors offer an interdisciplinary approach to the legal regulation of medical-sanitary aid. In conclusion, the authors emphasize the need to make amendments to the current health care legislation, for example, to include such principles as coordination and continuity in the list of principles of medical-sanitary aid. These principles become especially important under the conditions of medical-sanitary aid in out-patient clinics.
