Summary: | 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.
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.
