Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the approach of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the higher medical educational institution in the Chernivtsi region and the determination of the achievements of the higher education team in the specified field of health care. Conclusions. It should be mentioned, that the goiter disease did not disappear from the territory of Chernivtsi region during 1975-2004 period. In spite of the activity of BDMA scientists in the field of combating endocrine diseases it still lasts in this chronologically limited period. The reason means the lack of real actions and preventions of the state and medical administration against it on the background of victorious reports about its elimination. So, attention to this disease was less than needed. In principle, there was no previous system of prevention of IBD. During the crisis period, which coincided with a change in the social and economic order in society, the social and domestic living conditions worsened. The ecological situation was negatively affected by the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. As a result of the mentioned reasons, the structure of endocrine pathology changed in the direction of thyroid cancer and diabetes. The medical scientists of our educational institution didn’t stop fighting such sickness complex and provided their research, as well as medical practice, outgrew the problems of the pathogenesis of the disease and moved to the research of the process of clinical endocrinology and the study of additional factors of the occurrence of diseases (such as radiation). They made systematic eff orts to help the regional health care system in the prevention of this disease. The sphere of interest of the Academy’s scientists has gone beyond our regional problems. They repeatedly considered endocrine pathology in the all-Ukrainian context, as well as on a planetary scale. Disorders due to iodine deficiency have been recognized as a group of global social diseases. According to the WHO, in 2003 > 2 billion people (35 % of the global population), including 284 million children, suffered from the consequences of iodine deficiency due to where they live.
