Abstract
The aim: Is to conduct a comparative legal analysis of the use of natural resources for health and recreation purposes in Ukraine, the European Union, and other countries to improve the scientific theoretical basis of the legal regulation for the use, protection, and conservation of such natural resources.
Materials and methods: The national and international legal instruments regulating the rights to health and the right to use natural resources for health and recreational purposes were examined by analyzing practices of foreign states in the field of these legal relations, in particular, the comparative-legal, complex, formal, and logical, structural and functional methods along with analytical and empirical research tools.
Conclusions: The legislation of Ukraine does not fully disclose the concepts, features, classification of natural healing and recreational resources, and therefore many aspects of their use, protection, and conservation remain uncertain and unsecured provisions of regulations. The article features approaches to improving the current ecological legislation promoting proper legal regulation of using natural resources for health and recreational purposes, thereby creating the necessary conditions to ensure the right to health care.
