The practice of forming budget allocations for health care, which was in force in the recent past, contributed to the fact that the share of health care expenditures in the total amount of budgetary funds was constantly declining. The principle of residual financing of such a socially significant industry as healthcare has become decisive. All these circumstances contributed to the formation of a number of negative trends, which manifested themselves quite clearly in the mid-80s with a shortage of medical personnel, hospital beds, medicines, a slowdown in the introduction of new medical technologies and modern medical equipment, etc. As a result, by the end of the 80s years, the quality indicators of public health protection in the country have sharply decreased.
