Legal regulation of health care in EU countries: comparative-legal

The article is devoted to the comparative and legal aspects of the legal regulation of health care in the EU countries, which is a priority in ensuring human life, both for national policy and for EU policy. In the context of European integration, the adoption of the Law «On Mandatory State Medical Insurance» is important, because the existing level of financing of the medical sphere does not allow to fully ensure the right of citizens to free medical care at the level stipulated by international standards. At the same time, it is important to strengthen the existing control over the quality of the provision of medical services.

The peculiarities of the legal regulation of health care in the EU countries are revealed and determined the ways of development of medical reform in Ukraine, taking into account the positive experience of the countries of the community, including: 1) adoption of the Law «On universally obligatory state health insurance»; 2) facilitating the process of reducing corruption risks; 3) providing hospitals with modern equipment for treatment and diagnostics; 4) improving the quality of medical education in order to provide the health care system with specialists with a high level of training.

Key words: health care, legal regulation, harmonization of legislation, medical care, medical insurance.
