Abstract

Results of evaluation of medico-economic impact of targeted medical aid rendered with frames of radiation-epidemiological monitoring on health status of the affected population are discussed in the article. The used approach allows authors to estimate cost-effectiveness of specific medical examination and to show the method for assessment of financial charges required for the implementation of prophylaxis programs addressed to groups of the affected population under enhanced potential risk. According to the analysis of medical data of 316 151 children residing in Bryansk oblast it is possible to increase considerably cost-effectiveness and quality of medical care provided to the population exposed to low dose radiation due to reasonable use of modern medico-organizational approaches and formation of groups under enhanced radiation risk.

Key words
Radiation, health effects of the Chernobyl accident, targeted medical aid, cost-effectiveness.
