Abstract.
The restructurization of regional health care system has significantly decreased the accessibility of population to specialized medical care as a whole and to ophthalmologic care in particular,. Especially critical is situation in small and average municipal units and as a result the patient flows are being directed to the regional health care institutions and the children – to the municipal clinical hospital N 9 (city Ekaterinburg). Thus, the work of local health care services has to be further improved from professional and managerial point of view. As a result of poor work of local health care system the levels of primary and total incidence rate of eye pathology in municipal units differs very much. Regional scientific-technical complex “Microsurgery of Eye” is developing strategic program aiming to widen its sphere of activities and is arranging its representative offices – consultancy-diagnostic centers around the whole Oblast, that will increase the accessibility of population to ophthalmologic care.

Key words:
restructurization of regional health care system, decreased accessibility of population to specialized medical care, Regional scientific-technical complex “Microsurgery of Eye”.
