Public Health: From the Principle of Healthcare Management to the Constitutional and Legal Value

The health of the population is a resource potential for the development of any state, therefore, in the conditions of the current epidemiological situation associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased risk of other mass diseases, everything that can characterize the process of changing the state of public health and the reaction of national health systems to it is of interest. The importance of the mission assigned to the health care system, the attention of society not only to changes leading to a real and sustainable improvement in the health of the population, but also to errors in the choice of appropriate legal means, demonstrate the need for scientific understanding of public health as an interdisciplinary phenomenon and updating the conceptual foundations of public policy in the field of public health protection.
