About the Quality of Medical Care in the Context of Improving the Quality of Life in Russia

The authors of the article based on the materials of the sociological study conducted in 2018 analyse the problems associated with the real state of the quality of medical care in the health care system of the country and associate them with the solution of the strategic task - improving the quality of life in Russia. The results of the study indicate the need to make changes and additions to a number of legal acts of the Federal authorities of the Russian Federation, subjects of the Russian Federation and municipal authorities for the legal regulation of medical care and the provision of affordable and quality medical care. The main reasons for this situation are the insufficient budget financing of the Russian health care system (by WHO recommendations - at least 7% of GDP), as well as the lack of unified, unified with the global approaches to the structure of quality of care and quality management. In the context of complex socio-economic reality, it is necessary to develop effective social mechanisms and ways to influence the quality of medical services provided to the population and the growth of life expectancy. The authors analyse the social and legal approaches to the study of the attitude of the Russian population to the quality of medical care with ensuring the responsiveness of the Russian health care system to the expectations of the population.
