In the review is presented an analysis of the existing health care system in Ukraine compared to the foreign trends of medical care. The health care system in Ukraine is in a condition that requires changes. The funds that the state allocates for medicine is not always spent effectively, moreover, primarily for the treatment and recovery of already damaged health.
In the world there is a transition from a system of health care that focuses on treatment to the system aimed protecting personal health with emphasis on prevention and personalization and results that are predictable and guaranteed.
Active introduction of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics in practical medical practice significantly expands the scientists’ understanding of pathological processes at biostructures and allows them to create conditions for the visualization of lesions that are hidden from clinicians’ view.
These examples show that people diagnosed with high genetic risk for certain diseases or conditions can get the fastest assignment to specific targeted therapy.
For development and introduction of predictive medicine concept of Ukrainian health system a new strategy should be built and that will be based, among other, on creation of conditions for an early pre-clinical definition of certain biological indicators of latent disease. The places of implementation of this strategy can be departments and later faculties of predictive medicine of higher educational institutions of Ukraine. A whole ideology of the health system, including units of professional training of medical personnel’s new generation, must be changed.
