The number of criminal cases against doctors has increased in recent years. The major reason for them was failure in delivery of any medical services that resulted in harm to health or death of the patient. The legislation of the Russian Federation for the medical industry is imperfect, however, the health care delivery failure can be associated with doctors’ non-compliance to the action algorithms specified by regulatory acts. The review has collected up-to-date legislative information regarding polypharmacy, off-label drug administration, irrational antibiotic therapy, that are neglected by doctors. Although, these problems become more and more crucial and they arouse interest of investigation bodies.
