Abstract

The global trends of innovation and scientific and technological activities in the medical field are analyzed in the article. The state of research and development work in the field of medical sciences, the effectiveness of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine are analyzed and it is found that the creation of new scientific developments remains limited due to the reduction of scientific, technological and innovative opportunities, because the number of research performers decreases annually, number of training of scientists in the field of medical sciences, financing of research works, etc. Possibilities and problems of innovative activity in the medical field are investigated. Based on the analysis, it is established that the innovative and technological development of the medical industry is marked by a number of problems, primarily related to: lack of traceability of the real state of science and technology at the level of educational and scientific institutions, state and municipal medical institutions, private health care facilities and others; reduction of the number of performed research works and introduction of innovations; lack of a state strategy for scientific, technical and innovative development of the industry; low level of funding for research and innovation of institutions, organizations and enterprises in the medical field; lack of state order, etc. It is proved that the creation and transfer of new methods, techniques and technologies for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the most common human diseases remains one of the most important components of state health policy and requires significant improvement of public management of Ukraine's medical system transformation according to innovative technological principles. Ways to solve the problems of public administration of scientific, technological and innovative development of the industry, such as improving the legal framework and state strategy of innovation and technological development of the industry; stimulating scientific and technological progress; development of innovation clusters, formation of medical technology transfer centers on the basis of universities, scientific medical institutes and private partners; promoting the development of public-private partnership as a way to expand innovation and investment activities of health care providers, etc. are proposed.
