HEALTH SERVICE IN ZAGREB A CENTURY AGO (1907–1909)

Abstract

Summary. Throughout a short period of only 3 years (1907–1909) a whole range of medical institutions were founded. They were important not only for Zagreb but for the whole Croatia: the first human bacteriological institute, children's dispensary, first aid station, orthopedic and military hospitals, sanatorium for the affluent and sanatorium for patients with tuberculosis. The state hospital began to be built but was not finished. That was how Zagreb started becoming a real sanitary metropolis a century ago.
