Aim: justification of staffing for public health service in Ukraine during reforming of health care.
Materials: data of state statistical reports, European Health for All database (HFA-DB) of Regional Office for Europe, World Health Statistics 2016.
Methods: statistical, bibliosemantic, expert assessments, systematic approach.
Results. Analysis of staffing of health care in Ukraine indicates a decrease in physician density, including public health physicians (PHP). Within 2010–2015 physician density decreased by 16.3%, including PHP – by 14.7%.
Based on analysis of contingent of students who studied for specialty «medical preventive care» (undergraduate training) at medical universities in Ukraine in 2015, it was found that for the last 3 years number of students who study by the plan according to state order approved by Ministry of Health (budget form of study), decreased three times. Specialty «public health» was added to the list of disciplines and specialties according to which undergraduate study of students is organized. However, training of Master of Public Health is performed only at one non-medical university in Ukraine only in specialty «management of organization and administration (in health care)» which does not provide up-to-date needs of health care and society.
Analysis of the European experience has shown that there is no common curriculum for training such professionals in European Union, job descriptions and qualifications for training specialists vary significantly in each separate country as well.
Conclusions. In view of existing challenges and threats to public health, global trends and national context, it is necessary to establish new institutional structures for training public health professionals, justification and development of new training curriculum for Master of Public Health.References
