On the Issue of Criminal Legal Protection of Persons Lawfully Providing Medical Care
( Pp. 122-128)

The realization of everyone's right to health protection and medical care, provided for in Part 1 of Article 41 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, may be violated in connection with an attack on a person providing the required medical care. In this case, the attacker encroaches not only on the life and health of a medical worker, but also on the right to freely seek medical help. The purpose of the article is to develop proposals for improving the criminal law protection of persons lawfully providing medical care. The concept of criminalization and its content are analyzed. Based on the analysis of literature and practice, the authors substantiate and make proposals on the expediency of using the new term "a person lawfully providing medical care" and on the inclusion in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter - the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) of Article 237.1 "The use of violence against a person lawfully providing medical care".
