It was concluded that in the modern conditions of the development of the medical industry of Ukraine, the search for additional sources of health care financing is especially relevant. The necessity to improve the process of financing domestic healthcare system is substantiated. Condition of funding of healthcare facilities in Ukraine in recent years of medical reform was analyzed. It is determined that financing of healthcare system is one of the main priorities of the budget today, and the budgetary expenditures for “Health Care” in 2021 grew compared to 2020 due to changes in the mechanism of medical services provision. Important areas are ensuring the provision of highquality medical services for all citizens, increase in the salaries of doctors.
