Unification of organizational approaches to disease prevention among the population

The relevance of the problem in the title is due to several reasons. First, it is the need to deploy an effective system of measures to prevent diseases. Unfortunately, the health of people of all ages and social groups currently does not tend to improve, and in many cases is deteriorating. This happens mainly due to chronic non-communicable diseases, the prevention of which in the first place should be targeted by healthcare. Secondly, the traditional (for decades) orientation of doctors to the treatment of patients has led to the fact that many of them simply cannot imagine any other activity for themselves. This situation is now aggravated by at least two more circumstances: a) the transition to insurance medicine, because in the process of this transition a lot of time and attention is objectively required to organize the treatment process, and prevention seems to fade into the background; b) professional unpreparedness of physicians to carry out and organize preventive work, taking into account the specific characteristics of various contingents and strata of the population, places of residence and work. In higher educational institutions, such issues, if they are touched upon, are in no way connected with practical work to prevent diseases and preserve people's health. Thirdly, it is clear to specialists in the field of health management that it is time to take the problems of prevention seriously. And it is expedient, and from a scientific and practical point of view, it is more effective to adhere to certain uniform rules that would allow in the future to compare the results of work both in terms of the quality of prevention, and in various pathological conditions, and among various contingents of the population. This is possible when creating unified schemes (approaches) to the prevention of various diseases.
