[Raising the quality of the therapeutic care for the population of an agroindustrial region].

The system of the therapeutic services control in a rural region of this country has been developed and introduced over the recent three years. The key problem in the design of the system lay in search of criteria for the quality of the work of the treatment and prophylactic institutions and every medical worker, which would reflect the final results of their activities. Introduction of the system of the therapeutic services control brought about the reduction of temporary and steady work losses in patients with respiratory diseases as well as the decrease of the premature death rate because of respiratory and circulatory diseases.
