The state health system is the main mechanism within the organization medical and demographic policies, the preservation and strengthening of individual and public health of citizens. The purpose of this study is to compare the health systems in Russia and Finland through the methodology of the World Health Organization and the Global Burden of Disease. According to WHO recommendations, the evaluation of the efficiency of national health systems should be based on three basic principles: 1. preservation of individual and public health of the population, 2. ensuring commensurability of the burden of health care for all population groups, 3. respect for non-medical (ethical) aspects in the field of health care, respect for the honor and dignity of a patient. The methodology of the Global Burden of Disease project makes it possible to carry out the analysis of medical and demographic indicators characterizing the state of public health of a chosen state or a group of countries depending on a given period of time, sex, age, group and class of diseases, risk factors. The technique is based on the “disability-adjusted life years” index (DALY). The study made it possible to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the health systems in Russia and Finland. The assessment of the efficiency of the experience of introducing social innovations in Finland was made, directions of activity were proposed that can be applied in the development of programs in the field of medical and demographic policy in Russia. The results of the study can be used in various demographic documents, including in the field of high-tech medical care.
