Analysis of indicators of providing sanatorium treatment for tuberculosis patients in Ukraine

Aim: To examine the resource provision of anti-tuberculosis sanatoriums, which are subordinated to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Materials and Methods: The materials were statistical data of the Ministry of Health, the Center for Public Health and the Center for Medical Statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. A statistical method was used to analyze the performance indicators of sanatorium treatment facilities for tuberculosis patients, and systematic, analytical and descriptive methods were used in the study of scientific works. Conclusions: The number of sanatoriums for the treatment of tuberculosis patients for the period from 2015 to 2023 decreased, the rate of reduction amounted to 73.3% . As of 2023, there are 12 sanatoriums for tuberculosis patients under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The reduction in tuberculosis sanatoriums led to a decrease in hospital beds (rate of reduction -74.9%). In 2023, treatment and rehabilitation in tuberculosis sanatoriums could only pass 1009 patients (the rate of reduction -88.5%). The main problems in developing a network of sanatoriums for tuberculosis patients are insufficient funding, obsolete equipment and insufficient attention by the state to the comprehensive development of sanatoriums. Sanatorium treatment is an important stage in the comprehensive treatment of tuberculosis patients. The organizational and economic mechanism for the development of tuberculosis sanatoria should be based on the mobilization of all available financial, material and human resources, with mandatory state support and responsibility of all participants in the process.
