Abstract

The article substantiates the conceptual approaches, principles and integration aspects of ensuring the sustainability of the public health system based on the assessment of the vulnerabilities of the relevant system using the global health security index as a crisis management tool under conditions of uncertainty, risks and threats of dangerous events. The concept of "One Health" is used as an integrated approach to health security. It has been proven that the Global Health Security Index can be used as a reference for identifying threats and preparedness for epidemics and pandemics with the ultimate goal of reducing their consequences for health care systems and the economy, both nationally and globally. Emphasis was placed on the fact that the use of global research data, in particular the global health safety index (GHS), will contribute to the implementation of the main functions of the main expert institution in the field of public health - the "Public Health Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine", in particular, with regard to coordination with issues of International Medical and Sanitary Regulations, as well as ensuring the functioning of national medical information systems for recording and analyzing data on infectious and non-infectious diseases. It is recommended to apply in practice the functioning of the national public health system integrated approaches based on international experience and practices related to the preservation of public health, based on its determinants, as well as the prevention of occurrence and response to dangerous events that may lead to the spread of mass infectious diseases and non-infectious diseases, other negative consequences.
