Abstract

The approaches to analysis of medical personnel of stomatological service continue to be based on principles formed in relation to state health care system that makes it difficult to objectively assess situation due to increasing proportion of specialists employed in its private sector. The study, targeted to comprehensive comparative analysis of stomatological medical personnel of state and private medical organizations in the Irkutsk Oblast, for the first time made it possible to assess provision of population of large region and its municipalities with stomatologists, considering specialists employed in private medical organizations, in dynamics and in context of separate specialties. The decrease in provision of population with stomatologists in state medical organizations by 12.3% in 2019-2023 against the background of its increase in private ones by 14.5% was revealed. In 2023, 50.5% of stomatologists were concentrated in private sector of stomatological service and 30.8% in state sector. Yet another 18.7% combined their work in medical organizations of both types. The stomatologists employed in private sector of stomatological service were mainly concentrated in metropolises, especially in regional center, where their provision exceeds average regional level by 2.6 times.
