ANALYSIS OF LEGAL ASPECTS OF PROVIDING AN ACCESSIBLE ENVIRONMENT IN PHARMACIES FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
Abstract
Objective: to analyze the main legal aspects regulating the providing of an accessible environment for persons with disabilities in pharmacies.
Material and methods. The source materials were the texts of legislation of the Russian Federation and court decisions. During the research process, systematic, comparative, and logical methods of interpretation of legislation were used.
Results and discussion. Based on a content analysis of legislation, the main legal norms regulating the providing of an accessible environment in pharmacies have been identified. It has been proven that the scope of regulation of the current order of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation dated November 12, 2015, № 802n also includes pharmacies, regardless of their form of ownership. It has been revealed that compliance by pharmacies with legal norms to ensure their accessibility for people with dis- abilities is carried out through federal state control (supervision) in the field of drug commerce, carried out by Federal Service of Supervision in Healthcare (Roszdravnadzor) and its territorial departments.
Conclusions. It has been shown that the current legal norms allow pharmacies to provide entry and exit for people with limited mobility, as well as their movement within pharmacies with the help of employees of these organizations. It has been revealed that in relation to providing a pharmacy with an accessible environment for persons with disabilities, licensing requirements include the need to have a button to call a pharmacist at the entrance to the facility. At the same time, failure to comply with other legal norms regulating accessibility may constitute an administrative offense under Article 9.13 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences.
