The prevalence of corruption in the healthcare sector hinders the implementation of tasks that are a priority for the socio-economic policy of any state.Every doctor must be aware of the legal responsibility for committing corruption crimes in this area, therefore, in order to ensure social support of the state in the fight against corruption, it is necessary to purposefully develop mass legal consciousness among medical workers.
