. In the context of the coronavirus infection pandemic, the relevance of increasing the level of availability of medicines for various categories of patients in primary care is becoming crucial. The aim of the work was to process the state of the organization of circulation and the availability of medicines for various clinical and pharmacological groups of patients at the level of obstetric points. Materials and methods. To assess the organization of circulation and the availability of medicines of various clinical-pharmacological, nomenclature-legal and classification-legal groups, a conditional indicator was used – the conditional availability of medicines, calculated using content analysis. To conduct a content analysis, the organization of the regional primary network of medical care was studied; a list of obstetric points was compiled according to a quantitative indicator by grouping using the Sturges formula, followed by the construction of discrete series of variations and a distribution polygon. Results and discussion. Noted that obstetric centers perform socially oriented tasks to increase the level of organization of circulation and the availability of medicines for all contingents of the population on the principles of medical and pharmaceutical law, as the basis of state policy to minimize risks in the organization of pharmaceutical business. According to our own developed methods using content analysis, the structuring of the primary health care with a network of obstetric points at the regional level was carried out and it was established for the overwhelming majority of districts a low, above low and medium level of conditional availability of drugs for patients. Conclusions. The organization of circulation and the availability of drugs for various contingents of the population in the studied regional primary health care network is at the following level: unsatisfactory (for three districts); low (for five districts); higher than low (twelve districts); medium (for five districts); above average (for one district) satisfactory (for one district). Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the insufficient number of obstetric points in the regional primary health care unit is an obstacle to the timely provision of the population with high quality, effective and affordable drugs.
