ISSUES OF MEDICAL CARE ORGANIZATION IN THE LIGHT OF THE CURRENT MODELS OF HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS IN THE WORLD. ANALYTICAL REVIEW

Abstract

Significance. Changes in the social and economic development of any society pose fundamentally new challenges for the medical industry aimed at creating an accessible and effective health care system. Currently, the whole world is looking for ways to reasonably regulate the health сare system in a market economy. The purpose of the study is to conduct a chronological description of the main models of health care systems in the world and an assessment of modern trends in medical care provision to the population Material and methods. To analyze scientific literature, results of modern research on implementing various models in health care systems of the highly developed countries were used. Results. The main characteristics of the models of health care systems in the world, which are fundamentally different from each other, have been outlined: the state-funded (budgetary, public system), which is most comprehensively and conspicuously realized in the UK; predominantly the insurance system (most fully and clearly implemented in Germany and Israel) and the private (paid) system (most typical of the U.S. healthcare). Conclusion. Analysis of the global trends in health care development shows that there is no ideal model of the health care system in the world. Therefore, in order to organize an effective system of public health, it is necessary to adopt the experience of the developed countries on the basis of the state regulation of the health care system, taking into account various trends in the market economy.
