Introduction: Medical-demographic processes are one of the main signs of life quality, the level of socio-economic development of society. The aim of the work is to compare and evaluate the medical-demographic processes in the two neighboring regions of neighboring countries, due to their geographical proximity, the ratio of the size of the territories and the population. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on the basis of official statistics published by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the Main Department of Statistics in Poland, the depth of the research - 2008-2017, the scope of the study - Lviv region of Ukraine and the Podkarpackie region of Poland. The system approach, demographicand medical-statistical methods were used in the work. Review: In both territories the population aging is going on, illustrated by indicators such as the age structure of the population, the level of demographic load and the average age of the population. Data on population reproduction in both regions is narrowed, indicating a prevalence of mortality over births. The average life expectancy in the Podkarpackie region is higher and has a tendency for further growth. In the Lviv oblast, the average life expectancy is also growing, due to the positive trend towards a decrease in overall mortality, but is offset by a decline in fertility and high infant mortality and mortality rates, especially from circulatory system pathology. Conclusions: The analysis of our 10 indicators showed the heterogeneity of medical and demographic processes in the two neighboring regions of neighboring countries, despite their geographical proximity, the ratio of the size of the territories and the population.
