Medical activity, which always includes the necessity to solve a system of logical, gnoseological, axiological, and praxiological problems associated with the process of diagnostics and treatment of a patient, can be successful only with high culture of a specialist. It is a moral obligation of a medical practician to become a man of culture. Based on a systematic approach, the paper presents medical culture as a specific subsystem of general culture, whose mastering starts in childhood, develops in university, and continues for the whole life, demanding colossal mental energies. Part 3 Part 3 is devoted to analysis of the praxiological aspect of medical culture, namely, culture of medical activity and communication, in particular, between doctor and patient, legal aspects of their interaction, and wider understanding of culture as a measure, to which anybody masters his or her health potential and is responsible for it.
