The health care system in the State of Israel consists of two sectors - the public sector, which includes government-owned hospitals and medical institutes. The public health sector includes the community health system, health funds, family medicine, the general care system and the mental health care system. The second sector is the private sector, which includes private hospitals and medical institutes. Both sectors are supervised by the Israeli Ministry of Health, which is the supreme governmental authority through which it implements its policy in the entire health system in Israel. The law provides and guarantees medical insurance for every resident of Israel, the right to receive medical treatment, the prohibition of discrimination, informed consent to medical treatment, the right to receive an additional medical opinion, the dignity and privacy of the patient and the right to attend. Health funds in Israel were established before the State of Israel was established. The ideological concept of the health funds was based on the principle of equality and mutual assistance.

Trends in demographic processes, such as births and deaths, are analyzed. The structure of the causes of mortality in 2005 and 2019 and shifts in the structure of mortality have been determined. The main indicators of the health care system in 1995-2017 are analyzed. The directions and tasks of the started reform of the health care system are determined. Quantitative parameters of changes in the system of vocational and higher education in Ukraine for 2010-2019, which affect the level of development of labor potential, are analyzed. It is noted that there is an imbalance in the labor market. The number of applicants for one vacancy in the professional context is analyzed. Indicators of employment of the unemployed by both private employment agencies and the State Employment Service are given. The connection between the structure of employment and the processes of deindustrialization, which began in Ukraine in the 1980s, is determined. It is indicated that the processes of deindustrialization taking place in the developed countries of the world and in Ukraine have different colors. Deindustrialization in developed countries is viewed positively as a creative process that is supported by the concepts of development "Industry 4.0". In Ukraine, deindustrialization is defined as a negative phenomenon, which is due to the return to the pre-industrial stage of development and is accompanied by a decline in living standards. One of the reasons for the deindustrialization of Ukraine is the decrease in the knowledge intensity of the production of material goods and, as a consequence, the deformation and isolation of the education system from the real needs of the economy. The priority steps of the state policy directed on formation and development of labor potential of a society are defined. These steps should be aimed both at the development of human resources, especially the adult population, and at the support of domestic producers. It is noted that without state support for the development of young industries it is impossible to increase the productivity of the economy and raise living standards.

The article considers the main administrative and legal aspects of the state policy of national security of Ukraine in the field of health care. On this theoretical basis, the current challenges of medical reform are identified and proposals are developed to find the best ways to prevent and optimize them. Under the administrative and legal support of health care, we understand a set of organizational and legal forms and mechanisms to ensure socio-economic, health, anti-epidemic measures carried out by specialized organizations, the purpose of which is to preserve, strengthen and maintain human health, provide professional, high-quality and high-tech medical care to all who need it, as well as ensuring the availability of such care. It is concluded that the state policy of national security of Ukraine in the field of health care is aimed at creating such conditions for the health care system that allow for health education, disease prevention, provide medical care to citizens, conduct scientific research in the field of health care and training of medical and pharmaceutical workers, to maintain and develop the material and technical base of the health care system. Today in Ukraine the directions of the state policy of national security of Ukraine in the field of health care are determined by the European integration directions of our state and the commitments made by Ukraine in connection with the signing in June 2014 of the Association Agreement between Ukraine, on the one hand, and The EU, the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, on the other hand. However, the concept of health care reform in terms of its implementation to meet the relevant obligations has significant differences with the constitutional principle of free medical care, and therefore needs further refinement and improvement. It is substantiated that the highlighted topical issues of administrative and legal provision of health care should be taken into account in the implementation of the second stage of medical reform, which started on April 1, 2020. In addition, the experience of preventing and counteracting the spread of COVID-19 coronavirus infection should be an important aspect of health care reform.

The question of the systematic improvement of doctors on a national scale arose only after the October Revolution and the transfer of the health care system into the hands of the state. The October Revolution, which brought with it the system of state health care, raised the acute and very real question of creating a cadre of doctors to carry out the tasks of Soviet health care. Thus, the training of doctors in our Soviet Union in general and their training in particular is directly dependent on the tasks of Soviet health care, which are inseparably linked in their turn to the realization of various general state tasks at a given point in time.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe COPD pharmacological treatment patterns in the state of Bahia, Brazil, and to evaluate the extent to which these patterns conform to clinical guidelines for the management of COPD. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 441 patients referred from the Public Health Care Network of the state of Bahia to a public referral outpatient clinic of a COPD management program of the Brazilian Unified Health Care System. Individuals with a spirometry-confirmed diagnosis of moderate to very severe COPD were included in the study. Patients were evaluated as to whether they had used any COPD medications in the last seven days. The appropriateness or inappropriateness (undertreatment or overtreatment) of the patient’s pharmacological treatment was evaluated by comparing the patient’s current treatment with that recommended by national and international guidelines. Results: A total of 383 individuals were included in the analysis. Approximately half of the patients (49.1%) used long-acting bronchodilators. These patients were older and had had the disease longer. Of the sample as a whole, 63.7% and 83.0% did not receive pharmacological treatment in accordance with international and national recommendations, respectively. Inappropriateness due to undertreatment was indentified in more than half of the patients. Conclusions: Long-acting bronchodilators are frequently underused in individuals with moderate to very severe COPD within the Brazilian Unified Health Care System in the state of Bahia. Most patients in our sample were treated inappropriately, and undertreatment predominated. Strategies to improve access to long-acting bronchodilators and the quality of COPD pharmacological management are required.

Many changes have taken place in the professional status and political role of the Spanish medical profession during the process of construction of the health care system (1940–1990). There is a strong correlation between the different characteristics of the several phases of construction of the national health care system and some of the changes in the status, organization, and political activity of the medical profession. The democratic transition coincided with changes in the orientation of the system brought about by financial imperatives, which forced readjustments in the survival and political projects of the profession. The creation of a democratic regime has allowed the medical profession to create its own independent mechanisms of interest representation and has given rise to a process of negotiation of the new political relations (and their mechanisms) between the State and the profession. The last 15 years have witnessed important transformations in some parameters of the profession, in its political organization, its political role, and its relation with the State.
