LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM IN MODERN REALITIES

This article reveals the theoretical foundations of regulatory and legal support of the health care system of Ukraine. At this stage, the health care sector performs its assigned functions primarily through funding and government regulation. The latter is based on the legal framework that determines the legal status of institutions and officials in the field of health care. It should be noted that at the beginning of the period of democratic transformation in our country there was a noticeable tendency to a sharp decline in the role and importance of public administration in the health of citizens. More and more public and private medical institutions began to appear alongside public institutions, and the emergence of voluntary health insurance contributed to the formation of the view of the need for management structures. The influence of the state, which is realized with the help of health authorities, is a necessary condition for the functioning of medicine in the country. Thus, administrative-legal, economic and socio-psychological methods are used to implement public administration in the medical field. The article analyzes the regulatory and legal support of the health care system at the stage of reform in order to provide citizens with affordable and effective medicine. In total, the results of the research made it possible to solve the problem of substantiating the theoretical foundations and identifying priority areas for health care reform. A health care institution is a communal non-profit enterprise (hereinafter referred to as a communal medical enterprise), established for the purpose of providing primary and secondary (specialized) medical care to the population. Communal medical enterprises are non-profit (non-commercial), conduct their activities on the basis of the charter approved by the relevant council, which decided to establish a communal medical enterprise. The charter of a municipal medical enterprise is drawn up in accordance with the approximate charter of the health care institution of the municipal non-profit enterprise approved by the central executive body in the field of health care. Nonprofits in the healthcare sector do not manufacture a tangible product, create value, or finance themselves through a budget funding system. According to the "Fundamentals of the legislation of Ukraine on health care" (Section 3 "Fundamentals of the organization of health care" Article 14 paragraph 3), the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is tasked to create economic, legal and organizational mechanisms that stimulate effective health protection. Conclusions. 1. At the stage of reforming the field of medicine there is a need to form a clear terminology in the adopted legislation, for the coordinated work of the medical institution in the future. 2. To create a competitive medical industry to provide medical care at different levels (primary, secondary, tertiary), it is necessary to have medical institutions of various forms of ownership: public, municipal, private. 3. In order to legally ensure the provision of medical services, it is necessary to increase the education of citizens on the principles of medical care.
