Preservation of public health is the main goal of social progress and development of the society. The search for potential opportunities to improve individual and public health indicators is a positive predictor of increasing the socio-economic efficiency of the society and increasing the healthy life expectancy of citizens. The scientific review provides arguments in favor of the need for professional collaboration of specialists from various industries in order to universally realize the most important right of citizens to protect their own and public health. Regulatory legal documents defining national and international policy in the field of health protection and forming the general vector of development of health care activities were used as the sources of information for the formation of the basis of the study. As a result of a logical generalization of global and national priorities and trends in the development of the healthcare sector, the main prerequisites (determinants) of health saving of citizens, adopted by the world community and reflected in domestic documents, are formulated. The main prerequisites (determinants) of health are defined as: promotion of activities that advantage health protection; creation of a single preventive space; specification of the concept of 'responsible attitude to health'; coverage of the entire life cycle of a person and all spheres of his activity in the formation of a responsible attitude to health and motivation for its preservation; development of information technologies in the field of health protection; expansion of intersectoral and interdisciplinary cooperation in order to maintain and strengthen health; improvement of public health literacy; transformation of health services from the standpoint of health protection; development of human resources to ensure health-saving activities. The identified determinants of the preservation of individual and public health can act as a theoretical basis for the development of a scientific and practical methodology aimed at solving problems of improving health through the potential of interdisciplinary interaction of specialists in various fields of activity.
