Emergency doctors will be able to carry out medical intervention if the patient is unable to express his voluntary consent to this. This applies to providing care outside of a medical facility. The corresponding law was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. It is published on the website of legal acts.
“Medical worker of the mobile ambulance team <…> with the introduction of a decision on the implementation of medical intervention without the citizen (his legal representative) giving informed voluntary consent,” says the document. It is noted that this will be done in the case where the patient cannot express his will.
The law concerns the provision of emergency specialized care outside a medical institution. It is clarified that a citizen and his legal representatives have the right to refuse medical intervention. In this case, you will need to provide a document in writing.
Earlier, Putin noted that Russia has improved quality of medical care. The country has identified improving the quality and accessibility of health care as one of the key priorities of the national health care project. In addition, the head of Russia emphasized that saving the Russian people is a priority for the government for many generations to come.
