Nowadays modern medical commercial organizations in Russia carry out a paid reception of the residents for the provision of paid medical services. The demand for such services has increased significantly today due to the heavy workload of state medical institutions. However, today consumers choose the most high-quality services in the medical field, so the economic activity of medical commercial companies directly depends on the extent where specialists can provide patients with an individual approach and high-quality treatment. The purpose of the work is to study the efficiency of a commercial organization based on the analysis of its financial documentation. The author comes to the conclusion that the medical organization "Medicon+" LLC has significantly improved its financial performance during the analyzed period. This indicates that the level of services provided, as well as their demand by the citizens, is constantly growing. The increase in the number of patient visits to specialists of the analyzed clinic is also caused by the increase in the incidence of the population due to the pandemic and the decrease in the capacity of public medical institutions in this regard. However, according to the analysis, it should be concluded that in the future, taking into account the quality of services provided and recognition, the clinic of LLC "Medicon+" will be able to function effectively even after the stabilization of the epidemiological situation in the country and in the world.

Features and nature of the perception of medical institutions by the Moscow city youth have been considered. According to the results of a quantitative study (questionnaire method, N = 622) of the attitude of Moscow youth to service in medical institutions, it was concluded that, in general, young people are not sufficiently trustful of medical institutions. Among the main reasons for such a cautious attitude, respondents call insufficient equipment of clinics with high-quality equipment and organization issues. Relief gender differences have been defined: in general, according to the sample, young girls not only visit polyclinics more often than young boys, but are also more demanding to the quality of medical services provided and service. Informing the population about the positive changes in the health care system, new possibilities of medicine can serve as an incentive to change the attitude of young people to prevention and timely treatment.

The aim of the paper is to identify the factors influencing consumers when beer consumption and when choosing restaurants for beer consumption in the Czech Republic (CR). A partial goal was to compare preferences and factors influencing beer consumers from the Vysočina Region and the South-Moravian Region. The survey included a questionnaire survey, which 408 respondents took part in. The results showed that the most influential factors in the selection of beer for consumers are taste, a high-quality brand, and Czech production. Surprisingly, price was not found to be an influential factor in beer selection but is rather neutral. Factors that influence consumers most when choosing a restaurant for beer consumption were also identified. Consumers are most influenced by the quality of the beer on offer and the environment in which it is consumed.
