ABSTRACT
Introduction. The quality and availability of medical care for children of country depends on the quantity of pediatricians and the quality of their training. This is especially important in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Purpose. To assess the state of staffing and training of pediatricians in healthcare institutions of Ukraine in comparison with same world and European indicators and determine the necessary measures for improvement. Materials and methods. For this research we have used methods of the system approach and epidemiological analysis of data from GU "Center of medical statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine" for eleven years (2009-2020). Results. According to the level of training of doctors, including pediatricians, Ukraine has reached total rank of 38th in the European region. Such dynamics of changes in the availability of human resources for healthcare is accompanied by reductions in the volume of training of pediatricians since 2017. According to the Center for Medical Statistics from 31.12.2020 the Ministry of Health of Ukraine provided medical care in pediatric health care institutions of all forms of ownership with the help of 8812 pediatricians, of whom 7925 (90%) were worked in primary health care centers, clinics and hospitals of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. This numbers are significantly lower than in 2009, when there were 12 450 practicing pediatricians. As we see, the number of pediatricians has decreased by 15.4% for the last 7 years. Conclusion. Importance of the problems with personnel in pediatric healthcare had shown us a necessity of radical government management decisions for improvement of the situation with the training of pediatricians and preventing of risks of limitations of access to pediatric medical assistance and deterioration of quality of medical care for children in the country. This might be possible with rational planning of the state necessity in the training of pediatricians and significant improvement of their social protection and working conditions. Possible steps should include increasing pediatrics necessity state order up to 1000 pediatricians in state medical universities annually by targeted regional medical personnel necessity order, taking into account the needs of the regions and reviewing their training programs in accordance with the modern requirements.Copyright © 2022, Professionalnye Izdaniya.

ABSTRACT
COVID-19 is one of the biggest challenges facing medics and scientists around the world in the modern era. Despite the fact that considerable efforts have been made to treat COVID-19, the interaction of the virus with various organs and systems of the human body is still insufficiently studied. According to a number of authors, the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 can be represented not only by symptoms of damage to the respiratory system, but also by urogenital complications, in particular from the prostate gland. This article discusses the mechanisms of action of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on age-related patients with chronic prostatitis and/or benign prostatic hyperplasia, as well as ways to prevent the progression of prostate diseases caused by this virus. © 2022, Bionika Media Ltd..

ABSTRACT
The paper is devoted to the analysis and research of the epidemiological situation in the Bryansk region caused by COVID-19 virus. The main points of the development and testing of the simulation model of epidemic spread are investigated. An algorithm for modeling the epidemiological situation is proposed, an optimization experiment is conducted that gives realistic values based on historical data, and appropriate conclusions are made. The proposed integrated approach allows to reduce the money and time spent on conducting experiments, and also allows to predict the dynamics of coronavirus development in the given region to work out the strategy of health services by using information technologies such as methods of systems simulation. © 2021 Copyright for this paper by its authors.
