Rational Distribution and Use of Military-Medical Resources

Abstract

The support of resources including assessment of needs the structure of the acquisition system, and the distribution and utilization of medical goods are among the most urgent problems of the military health care in Ukraine. The often ineffective performance of the military-medical service is due to the rigid, inflexible health resources system. A second negative factor is the irrational distribution of the limited resources particular of the funds for the treatment of patients. The discrepancies can be explained by the high disease incident rates among military personnel. A third negative factor is the inadequate system of military-medical system financing which does not allow the commanders to spend money on measures promoting the health of personnel. The paper describes the scope and essence of the current reform of distribution system and of the use of medical resources in the Ukraine Aimed Forces. We will try to answer the following questions: 1. How can the leadership of the military medical service develop strategies for a more rational distribution and utilization of military-medical resources? 2. What role do the managerial bodies of the military-medical system play in undertaking the preform of the health resource system?
