[Readiness for intersectoral cooperation to preserve health of megalopolis population]

For a better understanding of issues related to health-preserving activities for the benefit of city population, theoretical knowledge about the attitude and readiness of all interested parties for intersectoral cooperation is needed. The purpose of the study is to analyze readiness of the participants of health-preserving activities for intersectoral cooperation in Moscow.

In 2023, a one-time, one-time study of intersectoral responsibility, commitment and awareness, as well as satisfaction with individual health care (original test cards) was conducted among different participants in the health care of the population of the city of Moscow (n = 1007). From among them, participants were identified -workers of «medical» infrastructure facilities of urban space, participants-workers of other facilities (sports, culture, industry, waste disposal, transport, food, trade, education and others) and the population as a participant in intersectoral health saving.

The research based on the original integrated assessment methodology shows insufficient readiness for intersectoral cooperation to implement health-saving activities for the benefit of Moscow population. Immature intersectoral responsibility, literacy, motivation for teamwork noted among the participants of the unified health-preserving city space determines the lack of internal conviction that it is necessary to deal with both own health, and health of other members of the urban community.

The data obtained can form basis for new methodological approaches to prioritize control measures to improve intersectoral cooperation between the participants of health-preserving activities in the metropolis.
