title: [About formation of actual comprehension of palliative care].
abstract: The article emphasizes that the palliative medical care is considered in the Federal law "On the fundamentals of health care of citizen in the Russian Federation" (2011)as one of the types of medical care of population. The Orders of delivery of palliative care to adult population and children are in the process of development to determine in perspective the formation of palliative care services in the regions. The successful development of this service needs a clear-cut definition of palliative care to formulate the corresponding tasks and contingents of patients. The Preference is to be given to the definition which considers palliative medical care as a medical care of patients with diagnosis of active incurable progressing disease at the stage when possibilities of specialized/radical treatment are exhausted or limited.
