ANALYSIS OF MODERN APPROACHES TO FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF HEALTHCARE FACILITIES IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyze modern effective approaches to the financial support of healthcare institutions, which have been successfully implemented in the leading countries of the world, in order to form a unique model of their financing in Ukraine. The uniqueness of the model is ensured by taking into account the institutional features of modern Ukrainian reality. The article analyzes the financial instruments for providing healthcare under various models of financing the healthcare system, which are used in global practice. The process of reforming the healthcare system in Ukraine was studied, which made it possible to establish changes in the financing of healthcare. The components of the healthcare institution's budget are given. The main advantages and disadvantages of approaches to financing healthcare in Ukraine are determined. The volume and structure of expenditures of the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine on healthcare, as well as the main results of the activities of medical care providers covering all regions of Ukraine, were analyzed. The problems of financing healthcare facilities at the local level in Ukraine, which negatively affect the availability and quality of medical services, have been identified. The need to develop a mixed model of healthcare financing in Ukraine through a rational partnership between state medical institutions and the private sector is substantiated. Taking into account the identified problems and needs, a comprehensive approach to improving the financing of healthcare facilities through the introduction of mandatory health insurance and the development of public-private partnerships in the form of facility management, including resource optimization and technological innovations, is proposed.
