State policy is a purposeful activity of institutional structures led by the state and its institutions, which is primarily related to the organization and management of the entire life of society in the country, solving social problems, ensuring development, stability, and readiness to overcome challenges and threats with the help of – determining the goals and tasks, the course and directions of development, as well as the means used in this, their implementation. State policy includes political and managerial components, political analysis of development and adoption of government decisions, assessment of their results, and management. The strategy of state policy as a whole and for a single sector, for example, health care, is formed based on national socio-economic sustainable development priorities, considering the developed traditional political practices and the possible application of effective, innovative, promising directions. The main goal of the healthcare system is to preserve and restore human health. It is implemented by means aimed at reducing morbidity, mortality, and disability, which should, in turn, increase the growth of the state’s national income and the welfare of the country’s citizens. The quality of health depends on the social and economic processes taking place in the country. Only the state, through administrative, legal, and economic mechanisms, can influence the current situation, which is why the state’s role is the main one for managing the health care system. Crisis phenomena in the economy had a significant impact on the functioning of the healthcare sector. The specificity of the current stage of the development of the domestic sphere of health care is that, with the observance of a single strategy for achieving the planned indicators of the development of the industry, as before, the problems of staffing and the quality of medical services remain unresolved, which in the absence of state funding renders programs and projects implemented at the state level ineffective. The global scale of changes in the country requires consideration of health care as a service sector with the proposal of generalizing methods of its management, considering market transformations.
Keywords: state policy, management, health care, medical services, development, directions of reform.
