Abstract
Article 41 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation establishes the right of everyone to health protection and medical care. It might seem that the concept of “health of the nation” is solely related to medicine, but in reality, this is not the case. It includes several components, in particular, we can talk about psychological health, the prevention of diseases and the formation of a healthy lifestyle. The implementation of the analyzed concept is associated with the use of legal, economic and social measures. The current demographic situation is of particular concern, as the birth rate is decreasing against the background of an increase in mortality, which leads to a natural decrease in the population. n this regard, the goal is to form a new approach to the concept of “health of the nation”, based on an analysis of constitutional norms, provisions of current legislation, and the law enforcement practice of the judicial bodies of the Russian Federation. The study was conducted using general scientific and specialized legal methods, the primary one being analysis. The conclusion is drawn regarding the need to develop a system for assessing national health indicators that will enable the most effective implementation of a range of preventive measures.
