The article analyzes the importance of varicose veins from a public health perspective, demographic, occupational, lifestyle-related, and organizational factors influencing their prevalence, as well as the medical, social, and economic burden of the disease. Based on the modern classification of chronic venous diseases (CEAP 2020) and international clinical guidelines, a seven-stage innovative integrated model for addressing the problem is proposed. The model combines a digital registry, screening at the primary healthcare level, remote triage, minimally invasive treatment, rehabilitation, prevention, and quality monitoring. The article is theoretical and analytical in nature and recommends a research design for local empirical studies.
