The health of citizens is a direct indicator not only of the economic development of the state, but also of the place that the state occupies in the global economic system. Indeed, the basis of the productive power of any country is human labor, and how healthy the citizens of the state will be, the more useful and better their work will be. That is why the economic prosperity of the state and its ability to compete in the international trading system depends on specific people and their state of health.
An important role in this regard is played by the law on the protection of the health of citizens, which laid the foundations and principles of protecting the health of our compatriots, as well as the prevention of diseases. It should be emphasized that, unfortunately, despite the declared concern for the health of citizens, the state in fact does not sufficiently fulfill its obligations in this regard. Free medicine remains only on paper, but in fact, in the event of serious complications, a person can rely on serious treatment only if the institution is adequately financed. Of course, you should not row everything under one comb, but the system continues to be based on bribery and corruption.
Recently, the government has gradually taken to strengthen control over the fulfillment of their obligations by medical institutions and their leaders, as a result of which it will be possible to hope for positive changes in this regard.
Recently, the State Duma introduced a new law on protecting the health of citizens, in which much more attention was paid to protecting the health of citizens and the prevention of various diseases. The new law also regulates the relationship between the patient and the medical staff, which details the rights and obligations of each of them. In addition, the law on the protection of the health of citizens regulates the organizational, legal and economic foundations of protecting not only human health, but also of society as a whole. Particularly emphasized are recommendations for a healthy lifestyle, the development of sports and children's sports clubs.
Unfortunately, the health of our children today does not meet the standards and requirements that are the key to a healthy and happy life for young citizens. On the one hand, this is due to the low quality of life of a significant part of our population, and on the other, the poor quality of many food products and a lack of essential vitamins. To some extent, the sanitary and epidemiological station also fails, which far from always reveals low-quality food products, as a result of which poisoning of children occurs quite often in kindergartens and schools.
The fundamentals of the law on health protection state that human life and its health are the main value for the state, therefore, continuous development is ongoing in this regard. As for children, more serious requirements are made here, which begin from the conditions of their residence and the well-being of their parents, to the protection of the rights of the child. Thus, the law on protecting the health of citizens fulfills the main task of providing the population of the Russian Federation not only with acceptable working conditions, but also guaranteeing sanatorium and preventive treatment for all those who need it.
Thus, despite the economic crisis in the world economy, which has affected our country, our state gradually continues to strengthen its position in the world, moving along the path of economic development. And although this process is still not progressing at a sufficiently high pace, however, the trend itself already inspires hope for an improvement in living conditions. And the law on the protection of the health of citizens plays a major role in this regard.
