Abstract

The article defines that today the health care industry is considered as a state system with unity of goals, interaction and continuity of services, both curative and preventive, with general availability of qualification. medical care, with a real humanistic orientation. A structural element of the health care system is the development of medical and social activity and attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle among different population groups. It is substantiated that today health should be considered in an even broader context – as a state of the human body determined by a specific socio-economic environment. With this approach, the main indicator in determining a person’s health is his attitude to life, since it determines the ability to work and the level of social adaptability in society, for which it is necessary to take into account social parameters. This approach to the concepts of public health allows to determine the possibilities of development of education, professional training and intellectual potential of the population, to determine the size of the human capital, labor resources and armed forces of the country, and to take into account the prospects of antisocial behavior of the population and the criminogenic situation in society. It has been proven that physical health represents the ability to perform daily work and self-care, spiritual health is expressed through the human psyche, and social health reflects a person’s positive attitude towards the surrounding world. It is not just longevity that is important to an innovative economy, but also the ability of a person to maintain working capacity and vitality throughout his life. On the one hand, the progress of technologies makes it possible to radically change the results of diseases, and on the other hand, sectoral diversification creates conditions for public employment of people who, to one degree or another, have preserved the ability to work. It was found that public health is defined today as a dynamic equilibrium of the organism with the environment, in which all important subsystems of the human organism allow to adapt to the rapidly changing natural and social environment. The traditional approach to the study of socio-economic aspects of health involves a statistical analysis of the main indicators of health over a long period and the identification of dynamics reflecting the trends of changes in the health of the population. Public health is not only a characteristic of human potential, which determines the economic power of the country and the dynamics of economic growth, but also the main component of the quality of life.
