During the COVID-19 pandemic, the routing of gastroenterological patients, dispensary observation and preventive measures have undergone some changes. In the structure of total mortality in the Krasnodar Region, mortality from DD was 21.6 % in 2020 and 4.0 % in 2021. The decrease in the growth of mortality rate, including from DD, in the second year of the pandemic is associated with the completed healthcare systems reformatting. The increase in hospital mortality in patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers, ulcerative colitis, and diverticular disease had a significant impact on mortality rates from DD. The decreasing number of hospitalizations was explained due to the conversion of a number of hospitals into hospitals for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. The hospitalization was mainly carried out for emergency indications and patients with a more severe course of the disease. The pandemic has increased the need for telemedicine: 378 tele-consultations on the gastroenterological profile was carried out in the Krasnodar Region in 2021.Conclusion. Healthcare system workload in the Krasnodar Region increased significantly during the coronavirus pandemic that required a number of structural adjustments.
