Іmplementation of European Standards in the Formation of Ukraine’s National Public Health Policy

Анотація

The European integration of Ukraine has become the strategic reference point for determining the priority areas of state policy that require modernization. One of these areas is the policy of the Ukrainian state in the field of health care, which provides that in the process of adaptation to EU norms and standards, the organization of medical care is transformed through the practical mastery of the public health paradigm. This paradigm includes prevention, epidemiological surveillance, education, protection of human rights and inter-sectoral cooperation. In accordance with European practice, public health policy is an inter-sectoral policy that requires special attention to institutional and human resources. After signing the Association Agreement, Ukraine began the transformation of the public health system, deploying the process of legislative and institutional harmonization, which was based on the Law of Ukraine “On the Public Health System” adopted in 2022 and the created coordination structure, the Public Health Center. The main problems that must be solved by the Ukrainian state through the implementation of public health policy based on European principles in this area are as follows: transformation of the system of training specialists in the field of public health on an interdisciplinary basis (epidemiologists, data analysts, social workers); ensuring equal access to medical and preventive services, especially for vulnerable groups; resource and financial support for the public health institute; overcoming resistance from medical institutions focused on a clinic-centric model; development of the digital infrastructure of public health.
