title: [The material and technical base of fluorographic units of primary health care facilities and its development promises].
abstract: The goal of the study was to assess the status of equipment and the staff potential in the fluorography and X-ray units of primary health care facilities and to define priorities and the volume of investments for their modernization. Two hundred and seventy-two health care facilities were studied through the use of questionnaires. The data were processed using standard statistical methods, such as calculation of the mean, median, and 95% confidence intervals. Prognosis was made for the idling period of equipment during stagnation of measures to improve the material and technical base of fluorography units. Priorities for modernizing the material and technical base and the staff potential were defined for the fluorography units of primary health care facilities. The volume of investments required for the modernization was estimated.
