In light of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), we carried out a regular review of the information resources of international organizations specializing in combating infectious diseases, as well as governmental and intergovernmental organizations of the world's leading countries with strong economies and stringent regulatory systems in January-December 2020.         The analysis of the materials accumulated on the monitoring results revealed some differences in the legislation and practice of health care organization in Ukraine. First of all, this is a small number of registered clinical trials on COVID-19 prevention and treatment, as well as the lack of permit to use medicines for the indications which are not in basic prescribing information, in particular, "compassionate treatment" programs or emergency access to medicines, which are in clinical trials.         In the absence of traditional evidence of the health interventions effectiveness, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of identifying reliable information sources, transparency, quick and widespread information disclosure and experience exchange on challenging issues of resource and risk management, communication and public health activities, discussion of organizational forms and clinical activities in public health in the vast majority of countries. The establishment of independent monitoring and analytical centers, the participation of professional communities in various studies is an example of the rapid scientific data acquisition and supporting recommendations on various aspects of countering the pandemic.Based on the analysis of international data published in reliable sources, the legislation has been changed in Ukraine, the approaches to planning the transformation of the health care system have been identified to increase its resistance to the infectious diseases epidemic, the quarantine measures and other restrictions have been justified, the standards of medical and pharmaceutical care have been presented, the measures to ensure the availability of medical care for patients with health disorders of other etiologies and priority areas for the development of health care facilities to protect medical staff and patients have been identified.
