ORGANIZATIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES OF THE SOVIET AUTHORITIES ON ESTABLISHING OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE UKRAINIAN SSR (IN 1920S)


The article deals with the policy of the Communist Party and the Ukrainian SSR's government in the sphere of public health. In the 1920s, the Bolsheviks tried to organize their own structure of health protection. From 1918 on they were shaping a system of the state control over the healthcare. Legal acts of Soviet Russia were used as a pattern in the process of establishment of public healthcare in Ukraine. During the 1920s, the Soviet authorities passed many legislative acts regulating process of forming and functioning of the central and local agencies. Institutional and management structure which was organized in the early 1920s developed under the influence of different political, social and economic phenomena such as war or administrative reforms. The transformation from the "military communism" to the new economic policy and then to the planned economy exerted huge influence on the structure of public healthcare management. Such new tasks as e.g. control over private medical practice and drug trade or forming plans of public healthcare's development and its integration into state economic plans required appropriate changes in the structure of people's commissariat and local agencies. By the end of the 1920s the Soviet government successfully realized the idea of subordinating all branches of the healthcare system to the "single management".

Key words: healthcare system, Ukrainian SSR, healthcare management, legislative acts, the new economic policy, 1920s.
