The items of recreation and social health in Ukraine are actualized by the political and socioeconomic crisis and military operation in the Donbas. Having used the data of national and local monitoring which were achieved in accordance with the methodology for an integrated index of social well-being, and a downward dynamic of the cultural and recreational field benefit sufficiency was found out. Particularly, the inhabitants of Lutsk have experienced a deficiency in the capability to amuse their leisure completely (45,8 %; 19,2 %; 28,1 %); to have a good rest (54,8 %; 35,8 %; 42,9 %); to receive necessary medical care (40,5 %; 44,6 %; 45,9 %); and health deterioration (36,5 %; 22,2 %; 26 %) in 2009, 2014 and 2015 respectively. Proportional indexes for the city of Lutsk are some better than for Ukraine on the whole (47,3 %; 60,6 %; 50,1 %; 57,4% in 2012), which is explained by the type of settlement and geographical position. However, they (indexes) are taking a step for the worse after 2014. As part of the study, the differences in the assessment of their health by the population of Ukraine (49,6 % of the population assessed their health as underwhelming) and the standards of health care (low rating – score 3 of 10) were found out (2004). The findings prove the missing of hopeful prospects of population’s social health conditions.
