Relevance of the research topic. The implementation of medical reform in Ukraine, which provides radical structural changes in the health care system, the transformation of financing mechanisms for services, and at the same time the implementation of budgetary reform, an integral part of which is budget decentralization, makes the issue of assessing the role of local budget spending on health care. Formulation of the problem. In conditions of limited budgetary funds, growing debt and budgetary decentralization, successful implementation of health care reform is impossible without increasing the role of local budgets in financing the industry of development priority areas. Analysis of recent research and publications. The works of I. Chygynova, V. Makogon, M. Pasichnogo, Ju. Markuts, I. Kogut, Y. Pasichnik, V. Tropina [1-6] and others are devoted to the study of issues related to the problems of the article. The results of their own research of some of the indicated problems are presented in [6-8]. Segregation of unexplored parts of a common problem. In the context of deepening budget decentralization, strengthening the financial base of local budgets, expanding the functional powers of local governments, it is necessary to further search for ways to increase the role of local budgets in health care financing. The purpose of the article is to assess the role of expenditures of local budgets of Ukraine on the health care sector in the context of deepening budget decentralization and to develop proposals for improving its financing. Duringresearch, general scientific and special methods were used: analysis and synthesis, the method of generalization, statistical, etc. The article analyzes and evaluates the total expenditures of local budgets for health care, as well as for the regional program "Health of the population of the Dnipropetrovsk region for 2020-2024". The attention is focused on increasing the role of local budget expenditures in the process of changing the health financing model. The basis for expanding the capacity of local governments to finance health care was the deepening of budgetary decentralization, changes in the distribution of taxes to local budgets, etc. Conclusions. In conditions of acute limited financial resources, success in the formation and effective use of funds from local budgets of Ukraine for the development of an appropriate health care system is associated, first of all, with the consistent implementation of the financial and budgetary policy of the state, the coherence of medical and budgetary reforms, priorities, increasing the efficiency of the use of budgetary funds in format of target program budgeting.
