The study used analytical, sociological and statistical methodologies. The sociological survey covered 409 executives of state and private medical organizations. It was established that current and prospective research and practical problems of state and private health care are mostly shared. The statistically significant differences in opinions of respondents were determined. The list of most actual research and practical problems of private health care was composed.The commonality of derived valuations confirmed trend to integration. The identified sporadic differences are explained by greater social orientation of state health care and directness on competition of private health care.
