title: [Marketing as an effective tool to overcome systems problems in the organization of antituberculous care to the pediatric population].
abstract: The paper analyzes the efficiency of vaccination and tuberculin diagnosis in the megapolis on the basis of official reporting forms Nos. 8 and 33 approved by the 11 November, 2005 Resolution of the Russian Statistics Agency and the Moscow tuberculosis monitoring system. It is concluded that refusals to undergo vaccination and tuberculin diagnosis may result in the system crisis of antituberculous care to the pediatric population. For the optimum solution of reducing the rate of refusals to take the drugs prescribed by a physician, the authors propose to use in pediatric antituberculous care the marketing methods that level off the responsibility of the parties in taking a decision whether a medical service is expedient. Under the marketing conditions of medical services, combating the foci of tuberculous infection should be a main line to reduce the prevalence of tuberculosis. Prevention of tuberculosis is most effective with the active interaction of medical services (pediatric phthisiological and primary pediatric care services) and society and with the needs being molded in it (as a market medical service) in the population.
