Abstract. The article examines the issues of ensuring economic security, increasing the profitability and development of health care institutions both in individual regions and around the world. The principles of improving the quality of medical services in medical and preventive institutions are considered and the main sources of funding are analyzed. Besides, the consequences of coronavirus infection in Ukraine are analyzed based on statistics and expert assessments published in the mass media.

The features of the modern Ukrainian economy are negative development trends, determined by falling energy prices and a decrease in domestic demand for imports. The urgency of ensuring economic security in the social sectors is increasing in the current crisis situation. An equally important industry is the health care system, which directly depends on the current economic situation both in the country and around the world. As an example, the article considers the threat of the pandemic as the main problem of economic security in the health system. From this we can conclude that the coronavirus infection has undermined not only the state of the entire economy, but also resulted in the high mortality and morbidity of the population.

Keywords: health, economy, security, medical and preventive institutions, pandemic, Covid-19.
