Medicine, public health and human rights in russian federation

The basic right of the person is the right for life and health. This right is given to the person because it was born as Homo sapiens. This right realizes by a quality of the medical help, level of education of the medical workers and medical law.

The activity any medical worker (doctor, medical assistant, nurse, pharmacist etc.) is based on three foundations: special preparation, professional etiquette and professional legislation.

Our doctors in the majority have perfect professional training. The professional etiquette of the Russian doctor leaves by the roots in tradition of zemskoy medicine, when the doctor was not only medico, he was a conductor of the humanistic, educational principles in illiterate country weights. Here pertinently to recollect the deserved respect, which the doctors in Russia used. In 1804 to Russia there has arrived the graduate of the Viennese university F.P. Haase, which has worked by the doctor about half a century. He has died in 1853, and last 22 years borrowed a very ' poorly prestigious post of the main prison doctor of the Moscow prisons. In the people he had name "the sacred doctor". To the doctor F.P. Haase belong the words which it is possible to name as the motto of all medicine: "Hasten to do kindness". In 1909 F.P. Haase had opened a monument. Moscow mayor was compelled to release all prisoners, desiring to be present on opening of a monument to the sacred doctor. This day in Moscow was not accomplished of any crime, and after opening a monument all prisoners have returned their prisons and chambers. Very much many modern Doctors (from the capital letter) are continuator of doctor F.P. Haase.

Thus, in 20 century there was a situation, at which between the treating doctor and patient the chain of other experts has appeared, which directly in treatment of the patient do not accept the participation. At the same time the diagnosis depends on their opinion which will be put with the treating doctor, and choice the tactics of treatment. There was a situation when the doctors allocated "authority" render influence on quality of medical aid by acceptance of the orders.

On a background of perfect special preparation and high ethical principles the weakest part in activity of the medical workers now is the absence of legislative base.

The absence of the experts in the field of the medical law results in rather heavy consequences for the patients. The lawyers, judge, public prosecutors, inspectors and so on did not preparation in the area of the medical law, unable qualified to carry on a lawsuit in civil or criminal cases in which the medical problems are examined.

This situation is connected that the judges conducting civil processes, have got used to realization of proceedings without participation of the experts. Divorce cases, municipal squabbles, sections of property, sections of the inhabited area and so on do not need the participation of the qualified experts.
