Summary. The objectives of the study are to assess the state of regulatory legal regulation (RLR) of first aid provision by persons with medical education, in some specific conditions of its provision, in a volume exceeding the volume stipulated by the Procedure for the provision of first aid, approved by the order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated May 3, 2024 No. 220n; to make practice-oriented proposals for improving the regulatory legal regulation of this area.

Research materials and methods. Research materials are federal laws and by-laws of the Russian Federation on this issue. Research methods are general scientific and specific methods of scientific knowledge.

Research results and their analysis. The study revealed a number of problems in the area of legal regulation of first aid with the participation of persons with medical education, in some specific conditions of its provision. In particular, it was established that legal acts provide for the need for a medical worker and the provision of assistance to them outside a medical organization, including during organized transportation of a group of children by bus; in children’s health camps; when moving convicted pregnant women and women with children under four years of age; when organizing physical education and sports events.

The authors established that these requirements are illegitimate due to their inconsistency with the provisions of the Federal Law “On the Fundamentals of Health Protection of Citizens in the Russian Federation” dated November 21, 2011 No. 323-FZ. In order to eliminate the legal conflict, the authors propose to develop and approve by orders of the Ministry of Health of Russia procedures for providing first aid for some specific conditions of its provision, requiring the participation of persons with medical education, in a larger volume, compared to the volume established by the Procedure for providing first aid, approved by order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated May 3, 2024 No. 220n.
