The authors partially agree with this method, bringing serious arguments for introducing indicators, that would take into account the evaluation of medical services throughout the chain of medical management. Because in the 21st century the concept of medical treatment has changed: it provides implementation for Family Physicians Centers, undoubtedly, they will contribute to the increase of medical services quality, that is why it is welcome to implement other indicators of primary medical care evaluation as well as family doctors activity.
