In modern urban development, design solutions take into account the increase in the number of people living in cities and the growing need of the population to provide public facilities: shopping and entertainment facilities, health care facilities, administrative institutions, sports facilities, pharmacies, grocery stores and others, which due to the shortage of land and architectural planning to increase the number of storeys of buildings, are located in built-in rooms on the first and second floors of residential buildings. Such placement of public objects provides conditions of convenient and territorially close to the place of residence access to them, however, such a combination of public and residential buildings in one building, as well as the joint use of the adjacent territory requires a detailed study from a hygienic point of view. In Ukraine, there are no sanitary and anti-epidemic requirements for the placement of built-in health care facilities, which necessitated the study of foreign experience in these matters. According to the results of the analysis of normative documents of sanitary and town-planning legislation of the EU countries, in particular the Republic of Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, the Republic of Moldova, France in terms of requirements for design, placement and operation of built-in health facilities and urban planning legislation provides for the placement of built-in health care facilities, in compliance with a number of sanitary and anti-epidemic requirements. In the EU countries, sanitary and anti-epidemic requirements for the location and operation of built-in health care facilities focused on the following architectural, planning and functional solutions: arrangement of a separate isolated entrance group to the built-in health care facility; creating safe, convenient and unimpeded access to the building and all medical and ancillary facilities for people with special needs, which include ramps, elevators, lifts, access for guide animals for the visually impaired and others; implementation of precautionary (health) measures when placing built-in health care facilities, which include dividing walls, autonomous ventilation systems and others; compliance with the normative sizes of medical and auxiliary premises. We consider it necessary to implement the current sanitary and hygienic requirements of the EU countries on the conditions of placement of built-in health care facilities in the sanitary legislation of Ukraine by amending the national normative document: "Sanitary and anti-epidemic requirements for health care facilities that provide primary medical (medical and sanitary) care. DSanPiN 2.3-183-2013 ”(as amended), which will help improve the sanitary legislation of Ukraine, as well as preserve the health of medical staff, patients and residents of residential buildings, which house built-in health care facilities.

Introduction. Dismantling of the old economic model of health care as a purely budget organization, which took place under the influence of medical reform in Ukraine, led to a new nature of economic relations, the need for work and development of hospitals as participants in a competitive environment, regional or local health services market, exacerbated the impact of opportunities and threats. Given the uncertainty and dynamism of change, this highlights the need for strategic planning primarily at the level of medical institutions that provide secondary and tertiary (specialized) care to determine priorities and focus resources on achieving their development goals, which requires attention to the scientific and methodological framework ensuring this task.Purpose. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need for strategic planning for the development of health care facilities in the context of medical reform and to develop recommendations for its implementation in their management.Research methods. In the course of the research the following methods were used: induction and deduction, system analysis - to determine the components of strategic planning at the level of health care, PEST analysis - to identify factors influencing the development of health care and factors that indicate the need to implement strategic planning in the hospital management system, institutional and comparative analysis - to identify features of strategic planning models, SWOT-analysis, expert assessments - to assess the internal and external environment of the organization, setting goals and strategic priorities.Results. Based on the analysis of the theoretical basis, the author’s approach to the interpretation of the essential characteristics of strategic planning of health care facilities is formed. The current state of the internal and external environment of health care facilities that provide secondary care in the context of health care reform in Ukraine is assessed, problems are identified. The planning system in medical institutions of this type is analyzed. The factors of actualization of the problem of implementation of strategic planning at the present stage are revealed and the necessity of its implementation in management of health care institutions is proved. Based on empirical evaluation conducted using the methods of expert collective commission, SPEIS-analysis, SWOT-analysis, the strengths and weaknesses of modern hospitals, opportunities and threats, the degree of probability and importance of the impact of opportunities and threats on the development of medical institutions, critical issues, the mission is specified, the main strategic goals and priorities are defined. An algorithm for the implementation of strategic planning in hospital management, a system of strategies and their content characteristics is proposed.Perspectives.

Two hundred and fifty five heads of households in Iyekuselu District, Bendel State Nigeria, were interviewed. Fifteen villages were randomly selected from the 107 villages that make up the district. There is high morbidity of infectious diseases identified in the study. Limited number of medical professionals and medical institutions present problems of availability of services. This is compounded by high cost of medical services and poor access to health care facilities. The self-perceived health care needs of the heads of households are disease prevention, availability of health services, improved accessibility to health care facilities and reduced cost of care. There is a strong need for health education programs in these villages. This should be attempted with the cooperation of community members, so as to attain the goal of promoting health and preventing diseases.

IntroductionOn February 27, 2010, a 8,8 MW earthquake struck the central and southern coast of Chile, that was followed by a tsunami that destroyed some cities such as Constitution, Ilaco, Talcahuando and Dichato. The national authorities reported 512 dead and 81,444 homes were affected. It was the one of the five most powerful earthquakes in the human modern history. The most affected regions were Maule (VII) and Bio (VIII).ResultsThe impact of the quake in the health sector was enormous especially on the health care infrastructure. The preliminary evaluations showed that 18 hospitals were out of service due severe structural and no-structural damages, interruption of the provision of water or because they were at risk to landslides. Another 31 hospitals had moderate damage. The Ministry of Health lost 4249 beds including 297 (7%) in critical care units. Twenty-two percent of the total number of beds and thirty-nine surgical facilities available in the affected regions were lost in a few minutes due to quake. At least eight hospitals should be reconstructed and other hospitals will need complex repair.ConclusionThe effect of the earthquake was significant on hospital services. It included damages to the infrastructure and the loss of furniture and biomedical equipment. The interruption of the cold chain caused loss of vaccines. National and foreign field hospitals, temporary facilities and the strengthening of the primary health care facilities had been important to assure the continuation of health care services. *Based on information from PAHO – Chile.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the control cubes for dust control in health-care facilities. Research shows that more than 80% of pathogenic agents in hospitals are spread into the air, where they either remain airborne or deposit on the surface. At the same time, renovation and repair activities, including regular maintenance, are a necessity in active health-care facilities and a multitude of studies have documented their impact on indoor air quality. The dust that is generated by construction activities may potentially carry pathogenic agents, varying from coarse particles (≤10 µm, PM10) to fine particles (≤2.5 µm, PM2.5), including airborne bacteria, and fungal spores linked to high patient mortality in immune-compromised patients. Design/methodology/approach This study measures the impact and effectiveness of one such preventative measure, namely, the control cube (CC), on air quality during renovation and repair. CC is a temporary structure, typically made from stainless steel, around the local repair zone to minimize the spread of dust and potential microorganisms. The current paper presents a comparative analysis to identify the effectiveness of a CC equipped with the high-efficiency particulate filtration (HEPA) filter in a hospital setting by simulating construction renovation and repair work. Findings A baseline was established to measure the effectiveness of CCs and the impact of negative pressure on the indoor air quality in a hospital during simulated renovation work. Results showed that CCs are very effective in minimizing the spread of dust due to construction activities in the hospital. However, it is imperative to ensure that the air inside the CC is cleaned via filtration. Originality/value CCs are very effective, and this paper investigates the best approach for facility managers to implement this strategy.

Reserarch question: This paper investigates whether motivational factors have influence on the work of employees in health care organizations of Serbia and what factors affect employees. Motivation: Motivation and job satisfaction among different groups of workers in health care facilities in Serbia are an important issue. This study’s purpose is to assist health managers in their efforts to fulfill individual and organizational targets by highlighting the most preferred motivational factors among the employees. With good leadership and with the building of good motivational system the organization can increase its value and competitiveness. It has been shown that employees are more motivated and work under less stress if there is a support from their leader or manager (Jensen, 2010). Idea: The  core  idea  of  this  paper  is to  evaluate  the  relationship  between motivational factors and work of employees in health care institutions in Serbia. The central hypothesis of this study is what the managers within health care institutions have to do to improve motivation as well as their abilities for the fulfillment of both individual’s and organization’s needs. Data: The cross-sectional study included 217 physicians, nurses, technicians, health associates and non-medical staff in 21 facilities of primary, secondary and tertiary levels in Pozarevac, Belgrade, Nis, Pirot, Novi Sad, Zrenjanin, Krusevac, Varvarin and Novi Pazar. Tools: The research instrument was a questionnaire with questions regarding socio-demographic characteristics, participants’ characteristics and motivational factors. The data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. Findings: The most important motivational factors are: salary, good interpersonal relationships and team work, contribution to population’s health and patient’s satisfaction. Around 10% of the participants thought that work could be done well even without motivational factors’ presence. Employees from the areas outside Belgrade rated job security higher in comparison with employees from Belgrade. A study conducted at the University of llorin Teaching Hospital in 2011 showed that salary was the most important motivational factor, followed by job security (Ojokuku& Salami, 2011). Contribution: Salary is an important motivational factor for employees in health care facilities in Serbia. Managers should work on the improvement of motivational factors through acknowledgement of needs of individual employees as well as through involving employees into decision making.

The Right

Architecture is gradually changing along with the development of society, its changing perceptions of beauty, strength, usefulness, as well as the growing need for comfort, aesthetics, the ideal environment. For a long time, the architecture of health care facilities was perceived and, accordingly, mechanically designed exclusively as a kind of technically necessary shell to ensure the treatment of the impersonal mass of the population. This approach was due to the acute and rapid need for a quantitative supply of medical institutions to a large number of people in large areas. This is what happened in the last century in the post-Soviet countries - standard projects of medical institutions were "cloned" everywhere, which were integrated into the urban environment by huge industrial-panel arrays without regional, cultural and aesthetic connection with "genius loci" and urban context. Do we have the right to condemn this large-scale approach that prevailed in the twentieth century? No. At one time, he made it possible to resolve the important issues of providing medical care to the majority of the population of the Soviet Union. Thanks to the massive and economic industrial design and construction approach, Ukraine has received an extensive urban network of various health care facilities, which continue to perform their functions, accepting the harsh challenges and trials of global pandemics and epidemics. The main problem is that with the acquisition of sovereignty in Ukraine began protracted political-oligarchic clan "internecine wars", which for decades froze attention to improving, modernizing, updating and developing the architecture of health care facilities. A significant part of Ukrainian hospitals is in a condition that not only does not meet sanitary and other requirements, but even threatens the health and lives of patients and staff. But it is not customary to talk about it. The Soviet mentality, enshrined in our subconscious, forces everyone in their place to report on the order, on compliance, on the implementation of plans. Despite the long-standing disregard for the problems and issues of compliance of domestic medical architecture with world standards, the powerful and once the world's best "machine" continued to perform its functions, inertially moving down from its pedestal. But today, in 2021, we are frantically approaching the foot of the new "rock", which embodies all the latest advances in health care and which the world's leading countries have gradually, step by step, overcome with long-term state plan for the development of medicine and with periodic reforms in the medical field.
