PEDIATRIC SURGERY IN RUSSIA - PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF OPRTIMIZATION

The results of monitoring of provision of Russian children with surgical specialists and specific beds in 2010-2015 in accordance with the period of healthcare reforms referred to as optimization are submitted. Tendencies in the country, federal districts and constituent units of the Russian Federation are stated. It is indicated that reduction in the number of specialists and surgical beds carried out without proper scientific substantiation doesn’t only contain risks of decreased availability of specialized medical aid rendered to children but also fails to correspond to the concept of national safety. The necessity of development of regulatory framework regulating territorial planning of the system of medical aid to children depending on geographical, demographic, transport and infrastructure peculiarities of the regions is substantiated.
