Problems of Economic Security of Health Care Institutions

The special attention to the problems of economic security of health care institutions is paid in the paper. The essence of the category «health care institution» and its classification are considered. Such problems of the economic security of health care institutions were identified as insufficient level of budget financing, loss of scientific and qualified personnel, decline of use of innovative products, increasing dependence on imported medicines, increasing circulation of counterfeit medicines. The direct threat to the security of health care institutions under the influence of an open reorganization of state and municipal health care institutions in state and communal non-profit enterprises is determined. The main statistical trends of budget financing of health care institutions in Ukraine are studied due to the volume of expenditures on the branch. The reasons for the low level of financing are determined; the mathematical model of the dependence of the nominal gross domestic product and expenditures on health protection is formed. The extremely low level of health care expenditures in Ukraine is noted in comparison with other countries. The negative dynamics of availability of doctors and medical personnel in the country was revealed. The using of outdated fixed assets and equipment in health care institutions and the Ministry of Health’s inability to provide them with new equipment are determined in the paper. The pharmaceutical market in the state is analyzed and the growing dependence of health care institutions on imported medicines is established. The content of falsification of medicinal products due to the possible absence of active substance in preparations, unknown technologies of obtaining medicinal products and substituting medicinal substances for cheaper analogues are disclosed. The sources of receipt of counterfeit medicines to health care institutions have been established. The authors use such research methods as analysis and synthesis, abstraction and generalization, comparison, statistical method, method of mathematical modeling.
