The health of the population is an important indicator of the high level of
state development. Morbidity with temporary disability affects the working
potential of the population and the economy as a whole. The purpose of the
research is to study and analyze occupational morbidity among medical workers in
order to further optimize the conditions and nature of work. The morbidity of
the working-age population is characterized by a high number of cases and
duration in days of diseases of the respiratory system, the circulatory system,
and the musculoskeletal system. Thus, according to the age and gender criterion,
the incidence of the diseases of the circulatory system, blood and hematopoietic
organs, respiratory organs, skin, and subcutaneous adipose tissue tends to
increase among the young population under 40 years of age, while infectious and
parasitic morbidity, diseases of blood and hematopoietic organs, and the
incidence of the circulatory system diseases rise among the population over 40
years of age. The results of sociological monitoring showed that in about 70 %
of cases, doctors noted a deterioration in their health status, but issued
temporary disability leaves only in 30 % of cases. Nursing personnel also issued
sick leaves only in 50 % of cases, while they felt a deterioration in their
health status in 50 % of cases. It is also worth noting that, while on sick
leave, medical personnel go to work in almost 40 % of cases; the reason for this
was the production necessity or the lack of labor force. The respondents
indicated respiratory diseases, infectious and parasitic diseases, and diseases
of the musculoskeletal system as the leading cause of temporary disability.
