Constitutional and administrative aspects of the ukraine's medical code

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to show which aspects of Ukraine's constitutional and administrative law should appear in Ukraine's future medical code. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The authors analyse five pieces of law or proposed law, including the 1996 Constitution's provisions on health care, Law the Fundamentals of Health Protection and the main codes. The authors apply classical legal analysis to these laws - analyzing the first three chapters of the proposed medical code from a constitutional and administrative perspective. The other methods used by the authors are systemic, comparative and synergetic. CONCLUSION: Conclusion: Ukraine needs a medical code incorporating international and European health care standards. Such a code will also further develop the country's medical legislation. Yet the proposed project has many constitutional and administrative weaknesses.
