Methods of the system approach and system analysis, medical-statistical, medical-geographic were used; sectoral statistical forms No. 20 for 2015 (4 units), Internet resources of health departments (3 items), satellite cartographic data were studied. It was found that the arrival time of the car on the bypass routes from settlements to central district hospitals in regions ranging from 1 hour 10 min. to 2 hours 21 min. unlike the standard time delivery of patient is 60 min. This limits the geographical accessibility of secondary health care were noticed to 4942 residents of Ivano-Frankivsk, 6874 people in Cherkasy and most of the population of Chernigiv region.
