It has been established that the current state of the question of the obligation to provide first aid in medical organizations and outside of them for persons with medical education is characterized by uncertainty. On the one hand, this is due to the absence of a provision in the basic law on health care that defines medical workers as subjects who are obliged to provide first aid, on the other – to the fact that subordinate normative acts assign this responsibility only to certain categories of specialists within the framework of their official duties. A comprehensive analysis of the current normative legal acts, regulating activities in the field of citizen health protection, was carried out, with the aim of correlating the concepts of “first aid” and “medical aid” in the context of the professional activity of medical workers. It has been established that there is a lack of juridical terminology in governmental normative legal acts when defining the concept of “first aid”. It also revealed the lack of a single approach when determining the duties of the categories of workers with higher and secondary medical education in terms of providing first aid as a labor function. A conclusion was made about the necessity of enshrining at the legislative level the obligation of medical workers to provide first aid when performing professional functions and introducing this obligation into the qualification characteristics of the positions of workers in the field of health care, used in the development of job instructions.
