Materials and methods. To achieve the purpose of the research, we used the survey method in the form of a standardized (formalized) interview as the main tool for gathering information.

Results. A significant proportion of respondents believe that the existing regulatory framework in the field of health care only partially meets modern needs and needs significant changes. Regarding the legal framework governing the field of postgraduate education, according to more than half of respondents, it only partially meets the existing present needs and only a third believe that it meets modern requirements.

Conclusion. The current legal framework of the health care sector, due to its imperfection, only partially meets the modern needs of the population of Ukraine and requires significant changes. Among the normative legal acts that regulate the activity of health care bodies and interconnection in the «doctor-patient» system, a number of normative acts need to be improved, in particular: Fundamentals of legislation of Ukraine on health care: Law of Ukraine from 19.11.1992 № 2801-XII. The regulatory framework of postgraduate medical education system also needs to be improved, as it greatly contributes to the successful reform of the medical field as a whole.
