committed in the field of professional medical
activity” (Ognerubov, 2014).
It is necessary to distinguish between crimes
committed by a health worker and a medical error. A
medical error is a innocent mistake of a doctor, in
which there is no elements of the crime and which
arises from the imperfection of medicine. It is
necessary to develop medical ecology - a section of
medical deontology, the theory of professional
mistakes. Iatrogenic diseases should be considered a
special type of medical errors. Moreover, diagnostic
iatrogeny occurs in 20% of cases, while therapeutic
iatrogeny occurs in 56%. In the literature, the
following fields or stages of iatrogeny are
distinguished: diagnostic, treatment-and-
prophylactic, tactical-strategic, informational,
organizational iatrogenic fields. In general, all acts
(actions or inactions), that caused improper treatment,
are divided into errors, accidents, iatrogenies, as well
as intentional professional crimes and careless actions
(Nesterov, 2019).
The field of pharmacy should be noted separately.
Provision of the population with the necessary
medicines is directly related to the problem of their
quality and safety for human health. The world os on
the rise of the pharmaceutical industry. Protection of
the population from dangerous, substandard,
adulterated medical products should be reliable,
especially the fight against adulteration of medicines
of frequent and daily consumption should be
escalated.
The Criminal Code of the Republic of Tatarstan
has one article 210-1, while in the Criminal Code of
the Russian Federation, for example, there are 3 new
articles, that establish responsibility for the right and
circulation of adulterated medicines and dietary food
supplements". But the Criminal Code of the Russian
Federation does not establish responsibility for
pharmaceutical piracy. In addition, trade through
online pharmacies is fraught with violations of
storage, transportation, and dispensing of medicines.
The Internet trade of medicines is not legally
confirmed in our country in Tajikistan either. Our
republic is still lagging behind in terms of the
development of the pharmaceutical market. Russia,
for example, ranks 7th among the world's leading
pharmaceutical markets. At the present stage of
development, the pharmaceutical market is a
complex, multi-level, multifunctional institution with
consistently high rates of growth of production, sale
of goods and, accordingly, indicators of profitability.
“The pharmaceutical market is a field of interaction
between subjects, directly related to the law, sale and
consumption of medicines and medical products;
engaged in the searching, research, development of
methods for the production activity, processing,
manufacture and storage of medicines, drugs and
materials, used in medicine and veterinary medicine,
as well as solving issues of their standardization,
purchasing and selling medicines in order to meet the
needs of end consumers and obtain economic
benefits" (Ilikbaeva, 2018).
Therefore, the widespread and public danger of
such acts served as determinants of the
criminalization of pharmaceutical crimes.
Health service experts from three countries -
Russia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan - conducted a
deep scientific research on the confrontation between
patients and doctors and taking the heat out of. The
reasons for the conflict situation are divided into two
groups - explicit and implicit. Patient dissatisfaction
is associated with inappropriate communication of
doctors, associated with partnerships between
patients and health workers. The second reason is the
nonavailability of modern, high-tech medical care.
One should always take into account “the nature
of the neuropsychic overload of a particular doctor or
doctors” (Tyagunov, Samoilichenko, 2007). Medical
trade unions exist only on paper, they have not
exercised public control over the observance of labor
legislation for a long time.
We cannot side-step an issue of the state of the
sanitary and epidemiological service in many
countries, including the Republic of Tajikistan. The
COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic identified many of
the problems, accumulated in society over the post-
war years, including in health service. Unfortunately,
this direction of medicine has fallen into complete
decay. But sanitation and hygiene are the fields, that
are directly responsible for national safety. In medical
universities, the faculties "Sanitary and Hygienic" are
closed, instead they train general practitioners (GPs),
they do not train forensic doctors. Over time, there
will be no one to replace the older generation, even
the middle one. The existing morgues do not meet
sanitary requirements, they are in critical condition,
new buildings, equipped with new equipment and
preparations, are required, waste must be disinfected
and disposed of, and not drained into the general
sewer system. Forensic medical examiners should
receive wage supplements, as they directly work with
coronavirus.
When considering various kinds of medical
interventions in the human body, the medical risk
should always be minimal, "that is, this should mean
the main thing: the danger and severity of medical
intervention should not exceed the danger and
severity of the disease or injury itself, for which they
