Abstract

Based on the forensic and pharmaceutical, criminal and legal, social and economic research, analyzed the reasons and conditions causing bribery in the field of healthcare, committed by doctors who were officials. The analysis of the forensic and pharmaceutical practice on reports of the medical expertise commission showed that there is no information about the participation of lawyers in the system of legal relations "doctor-patient-investigator-lawyer". The obtained conclusions indicate that it is necessary to increase the level of advocacy during the investigation of criminal cases at the pre-trial and judicial investigation. In addition, in order to strengthen information co-operation between doctors and officials of healthcare institutions concerning the improvement of qualifications in matters of medical and pharmaceutical law of Ukraine, necessary measures were proposed. Normative initiatives to increase the level of criminal responsibility were given. Recommended to the leadership of the KhMAPE and Public Organization "Association of Medical and Pharmaceutical Law" to appeal with a corresponding initiative to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to prevent the causes and conditions that cause bribery among communal non-profit enterprises – healthcare institutions.
