Abstract
The dynamics of morbidity and prevalence of diseases among the children’s population in Ukraine in recent years has multi-directional trends – an increase in the incidence and prevalence of diseases among children 7-14 years and adolescent children, and the reduction of the morbidity of children of the first year of life, the incidence and prevalence of diseases among children 0- 6 years. The decrease of the morbidity and increase of the prevalence of diseases with age was revealed. At the beginning of the 21st century, the problem of maternal and child health has become one of the priorities of public health protection in the world and was included by the United Nations in the Millennium Development Goals List. Ukraine is designated by the WHO European Regional Committee as a pilot region for the implementation of the Strategy “Health and Development of Children and Adolescents”. A data on children with disabilities in Ukraine are rare and do not give a general idea of the link between morbidity and disability, and because that information is available only by regions, not nosological forms, it can not provide a general picture of morbidity/ disability of young people in order to develop organizational measures to reduce that. The general objective of the Council of Europe Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for 2017-2023 is to "shift the paradigm" from the traditional medical approach to disability to a human rights-based approach: independence, freedom of choice, full participation, equality, human dignity and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities. The effective participation of people with disabilities in all spheres of life and society as a whole is crucial for the realization of all human rights and the formation of their life perspective in Ukraine.
Highlights
The Council of Europe Strategy on the rights of people with disabilities for 20172023 promotes, protects, and controls the realization of human rights for everyone, including people with disabilities (Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), 2008)
Disability may impede the full realization of human rights, fundamental freedoms and prevent persons with disabilities from effective and equal participating in society life, shaping their life prospects for better and more qualitative integration into society
One of the foundations of successful integration into the society for people with disability is an adequate assessment of their personality and characterological features as the basis and results of previous stages of development, especially for young people over 18 who had the status of children with disabilities

In the period of socioeconomic instability, of anti-terroristic operation in the eastern part of Ukraine, a series of medical-social and demographic problems that significantly affected the health of the population arose, especially as for children, adolescents and young people This issue was exacerbated during the unfavorable demographic situation, which was complicated by the decrease of fertility, increase of labor emigration and increase of mortality (Strong, 2016).
