The norms of legislative and subordinate acts regulating the procedure of state supervision and the specifics of state administration in the field of healthcare have been studied. The opinions of scholars who have studied the specifics of state supervision in the field of healthcare have been taken into account. Proposals for amendments to the current legislation regulating the specifics of providing rehabilitation assistance have been expressed. A definition of state supervision over compliance with the law during the provision of rehabilitation assistance has been proposed.

The specifics of state supervision in the field of providing rehabilitation assistance have been identified. Firstly, the supervision over compliance with the legislation in the field of providing rehabilitation assistance is carried out by officials of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Secondly, the object of state supervision is the compliance with the conditions for providing rehabilitation assistance stipulated by special laws and the licensing conditions for providing rehabilitation assistance established in paragraph 15-1 of the Licensing Conditions. Thirdly, the subordinate acts of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine establish special issues subject to state control during the inspection of a rehabilitation institution, as well as the form of the state supervision act. Fourthly, officially approved special criteria for determining the frequency of inspections of rehabilitation institutions within the framework of scheduled inspections have been identified. It is proposed to include a separate article in the Law of Ukraine "On Rehabilitation in the Field of Healthcare," which would regulate the specifics of state supervision in the field of providing rehabilitation assistance.
