Abstract:

The aim of the research is to study the impact of the volume and methods of health financing on regional indicators characterizing the health status of the population. It is concluded that in contrast to the clearly manifested dependence of the health status of the population on the level of health financing at the state level, such a correlation between regions is often absent.By applying statistical, logical and other research methods, the main factors that counteract the manifestation of such dependence are shown. The study used the materials of the Organization for economic cooperation and development, the World health organization, official statistics on the Russian Federation. On the basis of the analysis developed proposals aimed at optimizing the methods of distribution of financial resources of health care at the level of the state and its regions. The proposals that have been developed can be useful in the formulation of health financing policies by governments.
