Abstract
Currently, Ukraine and Kazakhstan are implementing health care reform, based on the introduction of new approaches to public administration in order to improve the accessibility and quality of providing medical services to the population. Studying the experience of such reform is an urgent task of the theory and practice of post-Soviet socio-economic transformations. A comparative analysis of medical reforms in the countries studied allows us to identify existing problems and propose solutions to them, taking into account their foreign experience in implementing them with a view to justifying and developing an effective mechanism for managing the industry. Analysis of the practice of public administration of the health care system in Kazakhstan and Ukraine concludes with a logical generalization and justification of priority measures of the state in this field. The limitation in the proposed study is the incompleteness of statistical bases, as well as the lack of generally accepted approaches and methods for assessing the health system.
