Differences in primary morbidity rates reflect different levels of organization and accessibility of medical care in different kojuuns of the republic and require study and development of management decisions at the regional level.

Conclusion. In the Republic of Tuva for the period from 2015 to 2022 there is a decrease in birth rate, mortality and natural population growth. The frequency of primary morbidity is less than the level of indicators for the Russian Federation and SFD, which is associated with low availability of doctors in rural areas, as well as inaccessibility of some areas of the Republic. The primary morbidity is high in adolescents aged 15-17 years, which suggests the development of a program to improve the health of the child population of the republic.
