Purpose: to show the current issues of public health, proclaimed in the draft of Law of Ukraine “On Public Health” and the possibility of their implementation.
Materials and Methods. Using the method of system analysis, the study of the most pressing tasks of the public health system in this draft was conducted.
Results. This draft of Law, focused on a strategic plan for the development of public health, must be a consolidated law such as the Fundamentals of Legislation or the Code. It must clearly state the executive structure, its place in government, coexistence with them, functional subordination, and other.
This draft of Law introduces a new structure, an authorized organisation in the field of public health, which is as “the central executive body that implements state policy in the field of public health and sanitary and epidemiological well-being, including the organization and implementation state control, in the manner prescribed by law, for compliance with the requirements of sanitary legislation in the areas of economic activity, which may pose a risk to sanitary and epidemiological well-being”. This draft of Law does not clearly define the place of this body in the executive structure of power, and therefore makes it impossible to co-operate either in terms of division of labor or in terms of funding.
Declarative strategic theses should have clearly defined funding with the indicated sources of income and be correlated with financial opportunities. The issue of vaccination today has signs of legal conflict and requires a balance between individual rights and community interests. Public health issues must be addressed by a consolidated community and concerted action by the executive branch. Health promotion and disease prevention should be a priority of public health policy.
Conclusions. There is no doubt that the public health branch needs a strong legislative basis, which must be sufficiently balanced, focused on the interests of both the community and the individual citizen, and does not cause alarm on the part of education.
