Abstract
At the present stage of development of the world community, investment in the human factor is objectively considered as a priority area of investment in order to ensure sustained economic growth. Investing in people contributes to so-called human capital. The most important condition and a solid basis for the accumulation of the country's human capital are in our opinion, high indicators of the physical and spiritual health of the population. This position is explained by the fact that in the case of low levels of both population and individual health, other areas of investment in human capital become ineffective.
