. In the context of a pandemic of coronavirus infection, the relevance of organizing the availability of circulation of medicines in health care institutions is becoming one of the main areas of ensuring the rights of patients in Ukraine. World practice stipulates that in order to ensure the best results and optimize costs, the largest volume of human and financial resources should be concentrated at the primary level of the health care system, and the least at the highly specialized level. The aim of the work was to analyze the organization of the availability of circulation of medicines for patients in healthcare institutions of different levels. Materials and methods. Local forms of 33 health care institutions of the Kharkiv region were analyzed according to the methodology first developed by the author of the article on the basis of grouping by qualitative and quantitative indicators. Used documentary, regulatory, statistical, tabular, graphical and content analysis methods. Results and discussion. According to the levels of medical care and drug circulation, healthcare institutions were divided into three groups: the first group (primary level) – city polyclinics (15 institutions), the second group (secondary level) – maternity hospitals (3 institutions), the third group (tertiary level) – narrow-profile establishments (15 establishments). Found that the highest availability of medicines circulation (fi = 9) with the largest nomenclature range (152–281) is observed in the third group at the level of tertiary care. Conclusions. The organization of the availability of circulation of medicines in primary health care institutions is lower in comparison with the tertiary level of medical care. The question arises about the need for further in-depth research aimed at improving the regulatory framework to increase the availability of medicines circulation for patients, primarily at the level of primary health care.
