Summary: | The aim of the article is to determine the status and main problems of
the resource provision of Ukraine’s health care system and identify the
most appropriate and relevant directions of improving the procedure for
its formation and use in the context of the current social and economic
transformations. The study considers indicators characterizing the status of
funding expenditures on the functioning of the health system for the past
4 years, the plan for the current year and the forecast for the following
one. This made it possible to make a conclusion about the budget model
and residual principle of funding the branch; the insufficient amount of
expenditures on health care; the inefficiency, illegality and irrationality of
their implementation by the existing network of health care institutions; the
low level of the state and regional control over the resource potential of
Ukraine’s health care system. To overcome these negative trends and ensure
the health system reform in accordance with the Strategy for Sustainable
Development “Ukraine – 2020”, there considered a mechanism of state control
over resources provision of the health care system, the implementation of
which will improve the quality of health of the population, provide full access
to health services, increase the level of funding and efficiency of using the
resource potential of the health care system. There also proposed a number of
measures which, in the authors’ opinion, will create sufficient conditions for
improving the procedure of forming and using the branch resource potential.Prospects for further research are developing a mechanism for attracting
additional sources to the branch funding, studying and adapting experience
of leading countries of the world in reforming the health system, improving
the classification of financial resources of health care institutions. |
