ABSTRACT
The influence of globalization and the strengthening of Ukraine's aspirations to successfully integrate into the European Union and become a full member of the international community necessitate the reform of the health care system and the payment of considerable attention to primary health care. In this context, the issue of effective management of primary health care facilities, increasing the capacity of their managers and determining the role of local governments towards them takes on increasing importance. The purpose of the research lies in substantiating the theoretical and applied principles for studying the management of primary health care facilities in Ukraine and assessing the impact of decentralization reforms on them. The general and special methods of economic analysis have been used in the research, in particular as follows: scientific abstraction and historical method, analysis, synthesis, analogies, comparisons, systematization, generalization, graphic method. Regarding the results of studying the state and trends in the management of primary health care facilities in Ukraine and the impact of the decentralization reform on them, their direct interaction has been established, which consists in obtaining additional opportunities for the implementation of managerial functions based on accessibility, openness, timeliness and effectiveness. It has been revealed that the volume of financing primary health care in Ukraine in the amount of 13 283 800,00 thousand UAH in 2018, 15 314 892,9 thousand UAH in 2019 and 20 667 909,1 thousand UAH in 2020 is in deficit and constitutes an average 4,1 % of the country's GDP (in the Netherlands – 9,9 %; Denmark – 9,6 %; France – 9,0 %; Austria – 8,7 %; Germany – 8,6 %; the USA – 8,1 %; Sweden – 7,9 %; Great Britain – 7,8 %; Italy – 7,2 %; Poland – 4,7 %). It has been proven that the mechanism for managing primary health care facilities requires revision and improvement, which is proposed to be carried out taking into account the level of development of a particular region in which these institutions operate within the capabilities of local governments and their financial solvency.
