Abstract

The author has researched that, to date, in our country, the national system of health care and ensuring national security in Ukraine consists of many mechanisms and tools aimed at ensuring high quality medical care and protecting national interests in this area. It is emphasized that one of the main mechanisms for the development of the health care system in Ukraine is the reform of the system, which began in 2014 and continues to this day. The reform envisages the transition from the principle of hospitaloriented medicine to the principle of patient-oriented medicine, in particular, by creating new medical institutions at the first level of providing medical care – family doctors and primary medical care centers. It was found that there are several mechanisms for the development of the national health care system and ensuring national security in Ukraine: reforming the health care system, developing telemedicine, developing laboratory diagnostics, ensuring the quality of medical care, ensuring readiness for emergency situations, strengthening international cooperation . It was determined that for the effectiveness of the health care system, it is necessary to ensure the transparency and openness of the processes taking place in it, as well as to ensure compliance with the legislation in this area. The development of the national health care system and ensuring national security is an important task for Ukraine. It is necessary to provide effective management and ensure sustainable financing, improve the qualifications of medical workers and develop the infrastructure of medical care. It is also necessary to ensure the availability of medical care for the entire population and to strengthen international cooperation in this area.
