Infrastructure support for the requirements of persons with disabilities in the market of medical services of Ukraine

Abstract

The study of the peculiarities of the infrastructure provision of persons with disabilities in the market of medical services is considered in the article. It has been identified that the state of the infrastructure of the domestic healthcare market is characterized by the provision of medical services for people with disabilities. Every year it decreases due to the reduction of public financing of the medical sector, the inefficient use of budgetary funds, and the imperfection of national legislation, which regulates the functioning of this market. The financial resource and economic potential of the country are not able to meet the needs of persons with disabilities in medical care at a state-guaranteed quality level, especially, despite the rapid increase in the number of persons with disabilities. The factors, which influence the infrastructure provision of persons with disabilities in the market of medical services, are determined. The necessity to develop forms of public and private partnership in this area is grounded. The preconditions for forming the system of infrastructure provision of persons with disabilities in the market of medical services are defined. They are considered as a complex of organizational and economic instruments. This complex aims to expand the opportunities for persons with disabilities, taking into account their individual characteristics. The success of functioning of the whole system of social and economic provision of persons with disabilities and of the separate components of this system mostly depends on the complex and systematic approach to its institutional regulation.
