The article examines health capital as the basis for the functioning of human capital. The issue of understanding of human capital importance is still relevant for Kazakhstan, as well as in the development and implementation of its development model. Based on the analysis of demographic indicators characterizing the health of the population of Kazakhstan, revealed the negative trends in indicators of life expectancy and mortality caused by COVID–19. Marketing research conducted by interviewing patients showed for the most part their dissatisfaction with the quality of medical services provided, and the results of the expert survey made it possible to identify problems in medical care in the conditions of COVID–19 and identify ways to solve them. The analysis of the indicators allowed us to conclude that the health of the population in Kazakhstan has deteriorated over the past two years. Today, there is an acute shortage of personnel in healthcare institutions, especially in rural areas. Insufficient number of medical personnel leads to exceeding the specific weight of the time required for patient care, which affects the timeliness and quality of medical services. Not everyone receives a guaranteed amount of free medical care under the CSHI, the unemployed and the self-employed left behind. As a result, there is an objective need to increase investments in healthcare both from the state and from companies, as well as an individual.

Marketing in the health system contributes to increasing public satisfaction in the demand for medical care, providing the population with high-quality medical care and improving their standard of living. The method of identifying and analyzing contact points, based on the results of studying and taking into account the opinion of patients, for the implementation of patient-oriented and participative approaches to marketing medical services, provides for the active participation of the patient himself in discussing issues of his own health, which can be used to evaluate and qualitatively improve the activities of health organizations. In modern conditions, there are problems in the dental services market due to the lack of modern equipment and the provision of highly qualified quality dental care. The client orientation of medical personnel is a significant indicator of the quality of medical services, the patient's perception of the value of the service and is associated, both with a high level of medical service delivery and the qualification of medical personnel. The lack of managerial and financial autonomy of health-care organizations limits their ability to improve the use of financial resources. Marketing research is mainly used to optimize the activities of non-state health organizations and allows the development of a dental clinic by introducing economically justified forms of medical care and the possibility of improving the provision of medical services, which will contribute to improving dental care for the population.

In 1993, Taiwan has transformed into an aged society. Compared with general patients, older patients differ considerably in body functionality, mentally, and mobility-wise. The primary customers of medical institutions are adult patients in Taiwan, and the needs of older patients are often ignored; however, older patients visiting the case hospital in this study accounted for nearly 30% of the total number of outpatients. This indicates that the needs of older patients are a matter requiring the serious attention of medical personnel. This is a common issue for all countries that were entered an aging structure of the population. This study investigated the attention paid by supervisors and medical personnel involved with medical decisions to the quality of medical services received by older outpatients. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was employed to interview 10 experts in older medical care providing age-friendly medical care at the case hospital, medical staff including senior physicians, nursing department supervisors, administration department supervisors, and certified managers. The results indicate that the supervisors and medical personnel considered the “communication and services” provided to older patients during their medical treatments to be the most crucial factor in their treatment process, rating it twice as important as the next most important criteria, the care process and physical environment. Medical personnel paid great attention to communicate with and servicing older patients; listening to their needs and concerns was deemed the most critical, followed by being able to empathize with them to solve problems. Asking patients about their problems when they visited the hospital was considered the most crucial aspect of the care process; in the physical environment, it was spatial planning and traffic flow design. The results of this study enable other countries' medical institution managers and relevant competent authorities to gain insight into the attention paid by front-line employees in promoting age-friendly medical care. If supervisors and medical personnel involved with medical decisions share a similar attitude toward promoting medical service quality, government authorities and medical institutions can implement and enhance an age-friendly medical treatment environment for older patients, as well as increase quality of patient-centered medical services.

The article discusses a non-standard view of the formation of human capital for work in organizations of the agricultural sector of the economy, in the context of modern socio-economic transformations. In the classical sense, human capital for agriculture should be formed and developed in rural areas. But in real life, this is not always the case, because there are many factors that prevent the classical solution of this problem. First, the demographic factor affects, second, social and household factors, and third, in many rural areas there are no working agricultural organizations where qualified agricultural specialists can work. All these and other circumstances actualize the problem of the quality of human capital in rural areas in relation to the development of agricultural production.

Happiness is a subjective indicator of overall living conditions and quality of life. Recently, community- and national-level investigations connecting happiness and community satisfaction were conducted. This study investigated the effects of community satisfaction on happiness in Nepal. A factor analysis was employed to examine 24 items that are used to measure community satisfaction, and a multiple regression analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of these factors on happiness. In semi-urban areas, sanitation showed a positive relationship with happiness. In rural areas, edu-medical services were negatively related to happiness, while agriculture was positively related. Gender and perceived health were closely associated with happiness in rural areas. Both happiness and satisfaction are subjective concepts, and are perceived differently depending on the socio-physical environment and personal needs. Sanitation, agriculture (food) and edu-medical services were critical factors that affected happiness; however, the results of this study cannot be generalized to high-income countries.

The article discusses the particular conditions of holding medical organizations accountable for causing harm to the health of patients. The conditions of civil liability, as well as the degree of responsibility of a medical organization in the provision of medical services, are analyzed. The authors are of the opinion that medical care should be organized in accordance with the procedures, conditions and standards for the provision of such care, however, the standards cannot cover all the options that may arise during the provision of medical care, therefore they are aimed at creating an average “sample”, to determine the approximate order of possible actions carried out by medical personnel. Attention is also paid to the consideration of the features of causing harm to the patient’s health, depending on whether the harm was caused in the provision of medical care or medical services. In conclusion, it was concluded that the conditions for bringing medical organizations to justice should include: unlawful action (inaction), harm, a causal relationship between unlawful action and harm, as well as the fault of the injurer.

Conduct a dynamic assessment of patient satisfaction with the quality of remote medical services provided in different time periods.Material and methods. The results of an anonymous survey of 424 patients on the quality of remote medical services were dynamically evaluated. The first group (138) received medical care from 01.04 to 30.04, the second one (286) – from 01.06 to 30.06 of 2020 after the implementation of measures to improve them. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0.Results. When analysing the results, a high level of patient satisfaction was revealed, but there was a significant (p < 0.05) difference in the level of satisfaction between the groups. The factors of connection between telemedicine services and patient satisfaction were identified, which served as the basis for organizational measures.Conclusion. Providing medical services using telemedicine technologies can be considered as one of the most effective ways to provide medical care.
