The process of reforming the Ukrainian healthcare system and its impact on changing the role of sanatoriums and resorts in providing rehabilitation services, as well as the availability of these services, has been studied. It has been found
that healthcare reform in this context has both positive and negative consequences.
The positive consequences of the reform include the availability of outpatient rehabilitation services that patients can receive in an outpatient clinic. Special attention is also paid to the availability of qualified rehabilitation for acute and
post-acute conditions. Positive factors of the reform are — financing of rehabilitation services from the funds of the National Health Service of Ukraine, as well as the development of rehabilitation care services in outpatient clinics.
The negative consequences of the reform include the reduction of the role of sanatoriums and resorts in providing rehabilitation services. The main focus of attention of the National Health Insurance Fund is on the rehabilitation of acute and post-acute conditions, and it does not include health and preventive services in sanatoriums and resorts.
Therefore, specific steps are recommended to support the status of sanatoriums, in particular, by expanding the package of services aimed at health and prevention. It is also proposed to consider natural medical resources and the specifics of sanatoriums and resorts in comparison with other healthcare institutions. Such an approach will firstly help to preserve sanatoriums and resorts, and will also contribute to expanding the understanding of rehabilitation and the role of
preventive measures. Ukraine is very rich in natural healing assets, so the integration of natural healing resources into the field of medical services as supporting factors for health restoration is relevant.
