Abstract

Health is one of the most important values of society. With the transition to market relations in Buryatia, the problems of protecting the health of the population have become more complicated, the level of morbidity and mortality has increased, which is associated with the low standard of living of a significant part of its inhabitants, and the shortage of medical personnel, especially in rural areas. The republic has a low average standard of living. Some positive developments that have recently emerged give hope for improving the health of the population, increasing the duration of a healthy lifestyle.
