Results. The analysis of the current normative-legal acts gives grounds to confirm that the rights of medical workers should be divided into two groups: general and special.

Conclusions. The rights of a doctor while medical aid should be divided into general and special. The professional rights of a doctor, which are noted in the current national legislation, are, for the most part, declarative.

The application of foreign experience, the implementation of international standards into national legislation, in particular regarding the implementation of doctor’s right to object on the grounds of conscience, will provide more professional protection of a doctor and improve the quality of medical care.
