The objective of the article is to study the main theoretical and practical problems arising within the introduction of contractual regulation of legal relations between a patient and a medical institution, which is connected with the reform of the health care system in Ukraine. In the process of writing a scientific article, the authors have used general scientific, special and legal methods. For example, in July-September 2017, there was a study in Ukraine, when 1,200 people aged 18 and over were interviewed using a formalized interview method. The studies of 82% of surveyed Ukrainians confirmed that Ukrainian medicine does not properly function and needs to be reformed. The beginning of the medical reform in Ukraine was marked by the development of new bills and introduction of innovations into the current legislation, one of which is the conclusion of a declaration with a doctor for the primary medical care. Thus, the legislator tried to introduce organizational and legal ways to improve the functioning of medical workers, to raise the efficiency and development of the medical services market, and also to guarantee the protection of patients' rights. Taking into account the analysis of contractual regulation of legal relations between a doctor and a patient in other countries, the authors of the article have suggested to apply positive experience of reforming the health care system in England, which is the most optimal and effective for introduction in Ukraine. The analysis of the data, obtained results during the study of the initial stage of the medical reform shows that there are gaps in the legislation and about the need to reform the health care system in Ukraine.
