The article is devoted to the assessment of the socio-economic burden of caring for very premature babies. The developed methodology for determining the socio-economic burden is a universal tool for estimating the costs of nursing, care and rehabilitation of premature infants. The formed structure of direct and indirect costs will allow more efficient budget planning in terms of healthcare costs for premature babies.
