The aim of the study was to ascertain the current state of surgical care as resulting from the reformation of medicine and education in Ukraine and to recommend ways of advancing it. The research included the processing and analysis of the annual reports of the Urology department of the Municipal City Clinical Emergency Hospital in Lviv during 2010-2019. The main statistical indicators of rendering the surgical aid (surgical activity, the structure of surgical interventions, mortality and structure of mortality, which are used in quantitative assessment of quality of medical aid and submitted in the annual reports) were analyzed in this work.
The study has identified the main problems of surgical work of the healthcare facilities in the section of the Urology department of the Clinical Emergency Hospital in Lviv, the most important of which are the low indicator of surgical activity and the presence of postoperative mortality. The main mortality reasons of the patients of the Urology department of this hospital are neglected oncopathology or other concomitant pathology, multiple organ failure, septic condition. 
The key points towards resolving these problems are the further development of the material-technical base of the hospital and improvement of the overall quality of medical staff training, both during the undergraduate and postgraduate training of specialists, which will allow the improvement of the quality of rendering medical aid nationwide.

Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine pose new challenges for the state, society, and all areas of operation, including higher education and healthcare systems.

Aim. The aim of this research was to study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law on the socio-psychological aspects of the activities of physicians(pharmacists)-specialists and the opinion of physicians(pharmacists)-specialists on the quality of postgraduate education, namely, ATC (advanced training courses) at Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University.

Methods. The study uses the sociological method, methods of the systemic approach, structural-logical and medical-statistical analysis.

Results. The study was conducted in 2024. The healthcare reform in Ukraine contributed to the increase in the satisfaction of medical workers with the nature of work, working conditions, workplace, and especially the remuneration system – from 32.20±1.63% to 69.56±2.12%.

According to respondents, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a deterioration in the nature of work, the remuneration system, the work regime and its conditions, and at the same time, improved information in the industry, the workplace, financing and increased levels of provision of medical institutions.

According to the study results, the war’s impact caused a deterioration in the nature of work, conditions, regime, labor organization and remuneration system.

The improvement in the quality of postgraduate education is evidenced by the increase in the level of student satisfaction with the level of theoretical knowledge obtained and practical skills acquired.

Conclusions. Difficult working conditions caused by emergencies are not obstacles but new challenges in improving the quality of higher medical education in general and postgraduate education in particular.

Вступ. Через пандемію COVID-19 та війну в Україні постали нові виклики перед державою, суспільством та в усіх сферах діяльності, зокрема і в системі вищої освіти та охорони здоров’я.

Мета. Метою цього дослідження було вивчення впливу пандемії COVID-19 та воєнного стану на соціально-психологічні аспекти діяльності лікарів (провізорів)-спеціалістів та на їхню думку щодо якості післядипломної освіти, а саме – курсів підвищення кваліфікації (КПК) у Львівському медичному університеті (ЛНМУ) імені Данила Галицького.

Методи. У роботі застосовано соціологічний метод, методи системного підходу, структурно-логічного та медико-статистичного аналізу.

Результати. Дослідження було проведене у 2024 році. Реформа охорони здоров’я в Україні сприяла зростанню задоволеності медичних працівників характером роботи, умовами праці, робочим місцем, а найбільше – системою оплати праці – (32.20±1.63 % – 69.56±2.12 %).

Вплив пандемії COVID-19, на думку респондентів, зумовив погіршення характеру роботи, системи оплати праці, режиму праці та її умов, і водночас вплинув на поліпшення стану інформації у галузі, робочих місць, фінансування та зростання рівнів забезпечення медичних закладів.

Вплив війни, за результатами дослідження, також спричинив погіршення характеру роботи, умов, режиму, організації та системи оплати праці.

Про підвищення рівня якості післядипломної освіти свідчать зростання задоволеності слухачів рівнем отриманих теоретичних знань та набутих практичних навичок.

Висновки. Важкі умови праці, спричинені надзвичайними станами, стають не перешкодою, а новими викликами в процесі підвищення рівня якості вищої медичної освіти загалом та післядипломної освіти зокрема.

The purpose of this section is to highlight the opportunities for digitizing important processes in the healthcare system to improve the efficiency of population health management. The introduction of these digital processes will increase patient satisfaction with the healthcare system, as well as provide a holistic outlook of patient health through access to data and give patients more control over their own health. Healthcare managers will also be using the developed Internet applications to conduct clinical audits and monitor health problems in the administrative district. It is proposed to develop and use free Internet applications and computer programs, namely: 1) Drug Compatibility Test online application, which is designed primarily for students. This app is designed to test knowledge of drug compatibility and
certain aspects of diet and behavioral habits; 2) electronic individual antenatal drug passport for a promising way to predict, prevent and reduce the risk of allergic reactions; and 3) Medical Intelligence app using the artificial intelligence technologies to develop an individual educational trajectory for doctors and pharmacists.
