Objective:
The aim: Retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness of the use of beds and human resources for the treatment of children with respiratory diseases in hospitals in the period 2008-2021.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: We calculated indicators that characterize the efficiency of the use of bed and personnel resources: the density of beds per 10,000, the rate of hospitalized children per 10,000 (RH per 10,000), the bed occupancy rate per year (BOR), average length of stay (ALOS), full-time positions (FTP) per 100,000, number of beds per 1 FTP of doctors.
Results:
Results: During 2008-2021, there was a significant decrease in the density of all types of beds. The percentage of hospitalized children for inpatient treatment decreased, BOR decreased, and ALOS decreased. The density of full-time positions of allergists increased by +23.78%, pediatricians by +4.86%, pulmonologists decreased by -13.15%. In 2021, there were 10.31 beds for 1 FTP of an allergist, 12.8 beds for 1 FTP of a pulmonologist, and 5.83 beds for 1 FTP of a pediatrician. According to the correlation matrix, it was established that the more beds there are for 1 full-time position of a pediatrician and 1 full-time position of an allergist, the longer the ALOS and the bed occupancy rate are.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: When planning staffing of health care institutions, it is necessary to mind the level of urbanization of the region, and ensure status of the general practitioner as a leading medical specialist responsible for medical care during the first meeting with the patient and his subsequent follow-up.

Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
