The health of the population, especially the youth, is an important task of state policy. Evidence of this can be numerous programs on demographic policy and health care. National demographic projects and programs were aimed at disease prevention by expanding the scope and availability of comfortable conditions for medical examination. Despite the work done to implement these programs, the incidence of diseases, including cancer, continues to grow. There is also a rapid increase in cancer incidence among young people. The priority direction of cancer diagnostics is early detection of the disease at the initial stages. In this regard, the author proposes to carry out a deeper examination of the population during medical examination using magnetic resonance and computed tomography methods, which will ensure early diagnosis of cancer. In addition to the increase in morbidity among young people, mortality is increasing as a result of various reasons, including the lack of a culture of health and health-preserving behavior: these are injuries, traffic accidents, conflict interpersonal contacts (bullying, bullying, fights, violence and suicide). At the same time, in addition to the young people who died as a result of such conflicts, the number of disabled people requiring long-term rehabilitation measures is growing. The article conducted a statistical analysis of morbidity and mortality among young people and adolescents, revealed the main causes of destructive, addictive and self-destructive behavior. The author conducted an anonymous survey among students, revealing the attitude to their own health and lifestyle. It was also proposed to perform a self-assessment of their own health, as a result of which it was revealed that only 16.9% of young people consider themselves completely physically healthy, 33.3% are socially prosperous, and only 25% of students are absolutely mentally healthy. As a result of the analysis, the author proposes to solve the problem of preserving the health of youth and adolescents at the state level by developing a comprehensive program common to all ministries, including measures not only of a medical and preventive nature, but also of a pedagogical nature, forming a sense of responsibility for their health among young people themselves, the development of an intrapersonal culture of health and lifestyle aimed at strengthening health.
