ABSTRACT
The article presents an analysis of the dynamics in the number of healthcare organizations of various forms of ownership in the Russian Federation for the period from 2009 to 2024. The study was conducted using statistical and analytical methods of time series data processing. Opposite trends in the development of the public and private healthcare sectors have been identified. In the public sector, a reduction in the number of hospital organizations by 27.66% was recorded, alongside a simultaneous increase in the number of outpatient clinics by 23.63%, reflecting the optimization processes in the inpatient sector and the strengthening of primary health care. The private sector demonstrated exponential growth: the number of hospital organizations increased almost fourfold, and outpatient clinics more than doubled. The capacity of private outpatient clinics increased more than fourfold. All identified trends are confirmed by statistical significance. The results obtained indicate the transformation of private medicine into a significant element of the national health protection system, capable of filling the deficit niches of the public sector.
