On the need to improve legal regulation regarding medical care for patients before and after organ transplantation.

The article substantiates a set of problems associated with imperfect legislation regarding mechanisms for regulating the provision of medical care to patients before and after organ transplantation. The authors show that the current legislation does not define who is the attending physician of a patient awaiting and undergoing an organ transplant, and the legal context for organizing such medical care is not substantiated. This may pose significant risks to patients, reduce the quality of medical care provided, and adversely affect the function of the transplanted organ. Based on the analysis carried out, the article makes specific proposals for making additions to the current specialized procedure for providing medical care and the law of the Russian Federation “On transplantation of human organs and (or) tissues.”
