Conclussions: The financial condition of the enterprise shows that the Kalush Central District Hospital is autonomous, that is, to a greater extent, it isfi!nanced from its own sources of !nancing. However, liquidity indicators are negative, which require more e"ective management of cash #ows so that the organization can timely repay salary arrears and pay mandatory payments for the use of material resources and energy. At the same time, a large number of patients are coming to the hospital because the income level has increased, which is de!nitely a positive factor. However, when planning activities for the following periods, it is necessary to take into account the need to update material and technical support, as well as to find sources of increasing sta" wages.
