We used data on the activities of children’s outpatient clinics for the country for the period 2014-2019 according to statistical reporting forms No. 12, 30).
Results. The tendencies of a decrease in the coverage of preventive vaccinations and a decrease in the detection rates of diseases, the uneven distribution of children by health groups and indicators of primary disability of children may be a hidden result of the weakening of the attention of the health service to the issues of compulsory clinical examination of children, which, in turn, affect the indicators of the health status of children in the future.

The study of the dynamics of indicators of the quality of mandatory clinical examination allows us to conclude that despite the improvement in the organization of preventive and therapeutic and recreational activities in children’s outpatient clinics in connection with the adoption in 2014 of the “Law on mandatory medical examination of children” in the country, the quality and the effectiveness of the clinical examination requires further improvement.
