Purpose: to analyze the views and approaches of the World Health Organization (WHO) to strengthen rehabilitation as a strategy of the health care system.
Materials and Methods. The method of system analysis, bibliosemantic and information-analytical methods were used during the research. The materials included published information sources and documents of the WHO.
Results. In the last decade, the WHO has paid considerable attention to the development of rehabilitation in health care systems. A number of documents with recommendations for the implementation, strengthening and financing of an effective system of rehabilitation services have been developed. WHO experts have elaborated a 4-stage process of strengthening the rehabilitation system, which includes situation assessment, strategic planning, development of monitoring and evaluation process, implementation of the strategic plan. To evaluate the results of rehabilitation in the STARS and FRAME systems, a chain of 4 components is used, which is typical for monitoring and evaluation of various programs, namely invested resources, direct results, intermediate results, final results. WHO has adapted the chain to the rehabilitation system, which allows for a qualitative and quantitative assessment of its potential and effectiveness. The concept of organization of rehabilitation aid and rehabilitation services by categories.
Conclusions. WHO has made recommendations for implementing, strengthening and financing an effective rehabilitation system. They should be used by countries in planning and implementing activities at the national and subnational levels.
