The article examines the issue of international legal regulation of matters of strategic development of healthcare using the example of the OECD member states. The issues of the activities of the International Labor Organization through the implementation of conventions and recommendations are considered. ILO Conventions and Recommendations play an important role in the development of health care in the context of the pandemic. The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is testing the national health systems, their resilience, preparedness, and speed of response to emergencies. The rapid spread of COVID-19 emphasizes the urgent need to strengthen the health system. Conditions particularly relevant during the pandemic include working hours, including the regulation and compensation of overtime, inconvenient working hours, and shifts; weekly rest; maternity leave; sick leave; social security. The right of workers (including migrant workers) to form trade unions is of great significance. The right to association is also one of the important means of labor regulation, as well as for medical workers. To ensure the efficiency of measures taken in response to the COVID-19 outbreak and its aftermath, there is needed an environment of trust through social dialogue and tripartism.
