The Russian Federation is a social state, and as a social state, the country must support the social well-being of the population. To do this, it is necessary to ensure that basic public goods are accessible to the population, and affordable and high-quality medicine is one of the key ones. The legal regulation of medical activity in our country began in the XVI century with the formation of the Pharmacy Order and has since undergone various changes. Since the Peter the Great era, normative legal acts have been issued establishing the responsibility of medical workers. In 1857, a Single medical Charter was adopted, which was in force until 1917. In the USSR, medicine was exclusively state-owned, which was enshrined in the Constitutions of 1936 and 1977 and in other legislative acts.
