Introduction. In shaping a strategy for the socio-economic development of countries and enhancing the level and quality of life of the inhabitants, advancing the health care system is one of the vital national challenges. The purpose of the article – to analyse data on the provision of medical care to citizens, including the "oncology" profile, for 2019–2021. Materials and methods. A theoretical analysis of research materials (publications in periodicals, conference materials and analytical materials) was used, as well as a descriptive statistical analysis of data from the World Health Organisation, the United Nations, and the World Bank. Results. The country rating of the world in terms of the health care system effectiveness, in which the leading positions are taken by Hong Kong (87.3 points), Singapore, and Spain, is presented. South Sudan ranks first in the ranking of countries in terms of mortality rates, i.e. 7.8 people in 2020 for 1,000 population. The country with the most hospital beds is Monaco, a country and micro-state in Western Europe with 13.8 beds per 1,000. Spending on oncology will reach nearly $240 billion by 2023, an increase of 9–12%. Spending on all medications used to treat cancer patients reached nearly $150 billion in 2020, an increase of 12.9% year over year from treatment medications. Conclusion. An important condition for improving the health care system is the development of the health insurance system, the introduction of new regulation principles, the creation of a unified field of supervision over the medical insurance organisation activities.

A number of factors and conditions hinder and restrict access to the health care system and its different services; these barriers to access put at risk the health of people by affecting adequate processes. Objective: To carry out a literature review on barriers to access to the health care system and visual health services in Colombia and around the world. Methodology: A literature review was carried out based on a search of the Medline, ScienceDirect, and Pubmed databases, as well as indexed public health journals and the websites of the Local Health Authority, the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization, the UNESCO, and the Brien Holden Vision Institute. Results: The main barriers related to demand, both in general services and in visual health, are the lack of perception on the need for service and lack of economic resources; at the offer level, the existing policies constitute a real obstacle. Conclusions: Awareness-raising in the population, together with the implementation of health policies that grant equal access to health care services, are fundamental to prevent people from being affected, to a large extent, by barriers related to demand or offer, regardless of their location or level of income.

Until the beginning of 1991, Somalia had a reasonable health care system with a good number of tertiary hospitals in Mogadishu and Hargeisa, some regional hospitals, district hospitals, clinics, child and mother health centres (CMH) and out-patient dispensaries. However, the conflict resulting from the civil war has destroyed the public health care system which existed in the country. Somalia was not alone in having conflicts. The total number of conflicts in the world in 2017 was 49, many of them have now entered post-conflict phases, where open warfare has come to an end. There is growing evidence that conflict has a devastating impact on health systems and the health status of the population. In Somalia, the post-conflict phase provides a unique window of opportunity for health sector development and reform. At this juncture, health systems in Somalia face the double burden of a flawed pre-conflict health system, characterised by deficiencies and inequities, and the long-term impact of conflict on the health status of the population and its resultant strain on the health system. This review article analyses the framework for the rehabilitation of health systems in post-conflict countries. Such knowledge can be applied in the rehabilitation and development of health systems in Somalia along the lines of the World Health Organization’s health system building blocks. The impact of conflict on the health status of the population as well as the health system can be catastrophic and be felt for years after the State has entered the post-conflict phase, but also provides an opportunity for reforms of the affected State’s health sector.

The purpose of this paper is to present the main data about the health care sector depends on how it is financed and thus the choice of an appropriate model healthcare system. The article shows a comparative analysis of health care systems in European countries of the OECD. Based on the literature, the general characteristics of Beveridge and Bismarck systems are presented. The evolution of the health care system in the world arises from a different history, conditions for economic development, diversity, under State policy, geographical location and cultural. Every country in the world takes part in the financing of health care, which is 20-80% of the expenditure on health. According to t. Szumlicza you must distinguish between concepts: "model" and "standard". The "formula" is understood in the context of the broader concept of "model of the health system". As the author of finding "patterns express different real concept of health policy while the term" pattern "prejudge the specific choice of health policy, which is a reference to the health care system". The World Health Organisation defines the term "health system" as a system covering all organizations, investment and institutions whose concept is to create actions on improved health. According to the Organization's objectives is the basis for the operation of the system of health protection, which targets focus on: constant improving population health, meeting the demand needs of health services, where the recipient is you as a consumer. On the other hand, the term "health care" defined by the WHO as a program of benefits in accordance with medical knowledge necessary to promote and maintain health by sharing individuals and entire populations. C. Wlodarczyk stresses that for the proper definition of the concept of health system you must extract the three spheres of the impact of health policy: health, administrative institutions and finance health and traditional public health activities. Many definitions that appear in the literature points to the narrower scope of the definition of the concept of "health care system" than those WHO suggested.. Author B. McPake and colleagues present the thesis that the health system consists of payers, healthcare providers and regulatory bodies together with relationships that occur between them. These relationships are presented for four health system functions: regulatory, financial, allocation of resources and the provision of services. C. Bailey and S. Poździoch describe that the health system is a whole, consisting of a variety of elements, the associated affinity, between which there are relationships. S. Poździoch is used for the definition of the system: "organized and coordinated team actions, whose aim is the realization of benefits and services and awareness campaign-therapeutic and rehabilitation aimed at protection and improvement of the health status of the individual and the collective ". The fact is the large role played by the State in the health system.

Aim - the search, analysis and systematization of historical facts concerning the formation and evo-lution of the world medical standartization; severance of its certain long-standing models for the optimization of settling and introduction of the existing, and future analogs, particularly, in the clinical audit format. Material and Methods. In order to study the medical standard as a historical component the fol-lowing methods were used: bibliographic, historical, analytical and methods of systematization and comparison. Results and Discussion. As a result of the conducted research the main historical events in the world development of the medical standartization starting from 1500 up till nowadays were col-lected. In order to study the evolution of the medical standartization, the analysis of the normative documents that have regulated the process of standartization, especially the Doctor's statute(s) in Russia, Minimal standard of the medical equipment and works of the American college of surgeons, was carried out. The scientific works that initiated the introduction of the clinical audit in the Health Care system in Ukraine, Turkey, the USA and Great Britain were throroughly analyzed. Conclusions. The improvement of quality as to rendering the medical aid is a job priority in the health care systems in many countries. For that reason, the search for its optimization was and is still retrieved for many centuries. The territorial formation of medical standartization is associated with England, Russia and the USA, but the occurrence of clinical audit is connected with Ukraine, Turkey, the USA and Great Britain. The foundations of the medical standardization was lauched in 1500 year, while the clinical audit - in 1854 year. The medical standartization is a reflection of the history of development of the organization of health care system, that's why the expertness (knowl-edge) of historical stages concerning the setting and the introduction of medical standartization may give a new impulse in its improvement and development under present-day conditions of reforma-tion in the medical sphere in Ukraine. The earlier beginning of implementation of the medical stan-dartization in the health care system in different countries makes it possible to actualize its introduc-tion into the clinical audit format, that, in its turn, allows to improve the quality of rendering the medical aid. Key words: medical standartization, clinical audit, quality of medical aid

A worldwide shortage of nurses has been acknowledged by the multidisciplinary Global Advisory Group of the World Health Organization. The shortage is caused by an increased demand for nurses, while fewer people are choosing nursing as a profession and the current nurses worldwide are aging. The shortage applies to nurses in practice as well as the nurse faculty who teach students. The inter-country recruitment and migration of nurses from developing countries to developed countries exacerbates the problem. Although public opinion polls identifies the nurse as the person who makes the health care system work for them, the conditions of the work environment in which the nurse functions is unsatisfactory and must change. Numerous studies have shown the positive effects on the nurse of a healthy work environment and the positive relationships between nursing care and patient outcomes. It is important that government officials, insurance companies, and administrators and leaders of health care systems acknowledge and operationalize the value of nurses to the health care system in order to establish and maintain the integrity and viability of that system.

It is generally recognized that China, while attempting to develop modern scientific medicine in carrying out its national policy for modernization, has also made significant efforts to integrate traditional Chinese medicine into its health care system. For instance, the World Health Organization's first global strategy on traditional and alternative medicine (released in May 2002) lists China as one of only four of its member states to have attained an integrative health care system. However, medical integration can take many different forms and involve quite different health care standards. A health care standard is a set of mechanisms by which distinct diagnostic and therapeutic practices and products are validated or accredited for use in health care delivery. Traditional Chinese medicine and modern scientific medicine adopt different sets of such mechanisms and thereby engage different health care standards. Accordingly, in appraising the Chinese integrative health care system, it is important to investigate which health care standard has been appealed to.
