State Management of Financial Provision of the Health Care System in Ukraine

The purpose of the article is to study the state and results of state management of financial support in the field of health care in Ukraine. The methodological basis of the article is dialectical methods of scientific knowledge: analysis and synthesis, critical analysis, logical abstraction, comparison, abstract-logical and statistical analysis. It pointed out the need to expand the state management of the financial support industry beyond the function of allocation of budgetary resources. It noted that the insufficiency of the budget requires the consolidation of available resources and opportunities for the proper provision of the medical industry, unification efforts of subjects of all forms of ownership, and all sources of funding. It indicated that the problems of health care budgeting in Ukraine lead to an increase in the risks of deterioration of the population's health and give grounds to predict an increase in the share of own funds in the volume of financing of the industry, which will lead to an increase in the volume of illegal payments for medical services and a deterioration in the solvency of the population. This will form the preconditions for the growth of social tension. Directions for improving the efficiency of state management of financial support are proposed. The low level of salary incentives for medical workers, in particular doctors, creates the problem of providing quality medical services. It is proposed to introduce regional structures, which should become a mechanism for regional diversification of budget funds aimed at health care, coordination of financial resources of communities and private funds, etc. The expansion of public-private partnerships is proposed, in particular, the use of comprehensive state management measures to stimulate the development of private medical institutions as a reserve for the provision of medical services in crisis conditions. Specific measures to improve the efficiency of state financial support to the industry are proposed.
