Abstract
We made an analysis of problems of the modern health care in the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), a territory with extremely specific social and environmental conditions, where low population growth has been noted for the past two decades. This article considers issues of logistics of central district hospitals, problem of shortage of qualified personnel. The work of the regional ministry of health to solve some of the most urgent issues, including mobile medical and air ambulance teams is presented. Practical recommendations on improving health care and attracting medical workers to work in remote areas of the republic by providing favourable conditions for employment pensions. Integrating new technologies, improving infrastructure and creating programs to retain and attract health workers are not only important steps to improve the health system in the Arctic zone of the RS(Ya) but should also contribute to reducing the outflow of population.
