Purpose – to study, analyze the state and determine the trends of children mortality outside the hospital among the children’s polyclinic institutions, which are under the supervision of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine for the period 2007–2017.
Materials and methods. The data of the State Institution “Center for Medical Statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine” were analyzed for the period 2007–2017. Own calculations and statistical processing of the results were carried out using the methods: analytical, statistical, comparative analysis, system approach.
Results and сonclusions. The current state of child mortality outside the hospital, which is a significant reserve for reducing infant and child mortality rates as a whole, is analyzed; its trends are determined. The need to prevent child mortality outside the hospital has been established, which should be carried out by conducting a detailed analysis of the causes of infant mortality, developing strategies and introducing systemic measures to reduce infant mortality.
