The WHO is an international organization that provides direction on global health issues and sets standards for healthcare systems. It recognizes access to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health as a fundamental human right. According to the WHO, a well-functioning healthcare system requires strong financing, trained healthcare workers, reliable information to guide decisions, and well-maintained facilities. The WHO recommends that an ideal system include primary care from general practitioners, secondary care from specialists in hospitals, and tertiary care with expensive equipment in specialized centers.

The WHO is an international organization which is responsible for giving
direction on international health issues, setting standards, and providing information for governments to make decisions. One of the principles of its constitution reads as follows: “The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion or political belief, economic or social condition.” It means that everyone has the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health which includes access to all medical services. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a well-functioning health care system requires a strong financing mechanism; a well-trained and adequately- paid workforce; reliable information on which to base decisions and policies; and well maintained health facilities and logistics to deliver quality medicines and technologies. Recommended by the WHO an idealized health care system should include primary, secondary and tertiary medical services. The primary care includes general practitioner (GP) or family doctor services. GPs treat common diseases and prevent them. They also offer counseling and monitor your health. In most countries secondary care is provided in the place where a primary care person such as a doctor refers a patient to a specialist. Secondary care providers typically do not have the type of continuous contact with patients that general practitioners do, but provide specialized consulting and treatment in the hospitals and polyclinics. And finally, tertiary care includes specialized care, often hospital care, in great specialized centers which require expensive equipment and highly trained professionals. It includes Cardiosurgery, Neurosurgery, Eye surgery, Oncology etc.
Nowadays, Ukraine is facing deep changes and reforms in healthcare system
which are targeted to establishment and support of strong postgraduate programs for training in family medicine. The Ministry of Health of Ukraine continues a fundamental transformation of the national healthcare system to prepare and introduce insurance medicine. Many people still go to the state hospitals and polyclinics for their medical needs because private medical services cost a pretty penny for the majority of Ukrainian population. Health care systems are organizations established to meet the health needs of the population. The access to health care may vary across different countries, but the human right to health care means that hospitals, clinics, medicines, and doctors’ services must be accessible, available, acceptable, and of good quality for everyone.

II. READ AN ABSTRACT. FILL IN THE NECESSARY WORD. DISCUSS
THE PHENOMENON OF MEDICAL (DENTAL) TOURISM.
Free NHS dental treatment in England.
Britain has had a National Health Service (NHS) since the late 1940s. Most medical treatment in Great Britain is free, but charges are made for drugs, spectacles and dental care. Free emergency medical treatment is given to any visitor from abroad, who becomes ill while staying in the country. But those, who come to the UK especially for treatment, must pay for it. The healthcare system and health insurance in the UK are free at the point of use. Dental care in the UK can be expensive and you need to pay a contribution for every treatment. Some people are entitled to free dental treatment. You don’t pay for treatment if you are pregnant, you are under 18 or you receive a low income benefits. When you make an appointment tell your dentist you want NHS treatment. When you arrive for your appointment, you'll be given a form to fill in. If you don't have to pay, put a cross in the appropriate box. If you aren't sure whether you're entitled to help, you must pay. You can claim a refund, but make sure you keep all receipts. Refund claims must be submitted within three months of the date on which you paid.
