Introduction: Health systems and health policies across the European Union are becoming more and more interconnected and also more complex. This increased interconnection raises many health policy issues, including health care quality. Mistakes in medical care can occur anywhere in the health care system – at hospitals, doctor’s offices, nursing homes, pharmacies, or patients’ homes - and in any part of the treatment process involving wrong medication, improper treatment, or incorrect or delayed test results. The aim of the article is to develop adequate theoretical and scientific-practical proposals for the modernization of the legal regulation to protect patients’ rights aimed at observance of constitutional rights and freedoms. Materials and methods: In order to obtain the results the analysis of medical, labor and civil law norms are investigated. The article uses analysis and synthesis methods, as well as a comparative legal method. Review: A number of proposals are given for improving legislation in the area of eliminating obstacles to provision of qualitative primary care / medical-preventive care, prevention of formal attitude towards the patient, the implementation of preventive protection measures which should notify in advance about the violation of the law in the medical sphere. Conclusions: Ukraine urgently needs a legal mechanism to protect the rights of patients; it will become a systemic phenomenon and will consist of legal means, forms, ways by which the restoration of violated patients’ rights is provided, the support of protected interests by the law is maintained, legal disputes are resolved and other obstacles to realization of patients’ rights are overcome.
