DYNAMICS AND FORECAST OF SEPARATE INDICATORS OF ACCESSIBILITY OF MEDICAL CARE TO NEWBORNS IN THE NORTH-WESTERN FEDERAL DISTRICT

Abstract

The protection of motherhood and childhood in concern of the current demographic situation in the Russian Federation is one of the most important areas of state policy. Ensuring access to medical care for newborns is a prerequisite for improving and maintaining the health of the population of children. In order to assess the dynamics and prognosis of the provision of neonatal and prematurity beds by neonatologists in the Northwestern Federal District, the official statistical reports and publications of the Federal State Statistics Service, as well as the statistical collections of the Central Scientific Research Institute of Health and Health of the Ministry of Health of Russia for 2014-2019 were analyzed. It has been established that over the past six years, the provision of neonatologists with doctors in the Northwestern Federal District has grown by 6.7%, and by 2.6% for beds of pathology of newborns and premature babies. The highest supply of neonatologists and beds in the field of pathology of newborns and premature babies is characteristic of the Arkhangelsk region and the Nenets Autonomous District, and the lowest - in the Kaliningrad region. In the Northwestern Federal District, an increase in the supply of doctors neonatologists and a decrease in the supply of pathology beds for newborns and premature infants are predicted. One can assume a further decrease in the provision of doctors neonatologists in the Nenetz Autonomous Okrug and St. Petersburg, and the provision of beds in Leningrad, Murmansk, Novgorod, Pskov Regions and in the Nenetz Autonomous Okrug.
