The semanth of medical activity and medical crime

in Russian legislation, the definition of "medical activity" is fixed in paragraph 10 of Article 2 of the Federal Law "On the Basics of Public Health Protection in the Russian Federation". From a substantive point of view, the category of "medical activity" is considered as an activity carried out on a professional basis, aimed at providing medical care to the population and other actions in the medical field. Medical activity should be considered as a specific type of professional activity, which in the criminal law sense should be understood significantly narrower than the above-mentioned normative definition. It is implemented within the framework regulated by the law of social relations that arise and develop in the field of public health protection in the Russian Federation, and within which the rights and obligations of the subjects involved in them – medical workers and patients - are realized.
