HEALTH CARE IN TUZLA AND TUZLA AREA IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY

The first records of organized health service in Tuzla and Tuzla area date back to the nineteenth century. Friar Ivan Kljaic, military physicians Muhidin-bey, Mehmed Said-Effendi and Ignatius Gulielmus Petelenz are honourably mentioned. Dr Mehmed Sami Serbic founded the first hospital-Hastahana in Tuzla. Respected both as a physician and a humanist, Serbic’s work leaves a remarkable trace. After the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary, three female physicians: Anna Bayerova, Teodora Krajewska and Jadwiga Olszewska were engaged to work in Tuzla area. Each of them made a tremendous contribution to the development of health care, not only in Tuzla area but throughout the country. Physicians Josip Lymberski and Josef Foglar are employed by so called Miners Hospital. Due to malaria and cholera epidemics which affected the region in 1893, two epidemiologists-bacteriologists arrived in Tuzla, Rudolf Fischer and Josef Katz. The objective of this overview is to preserve the memory of physicians who contributed through their work to the development of health care and service in Tuzla area in the nineteenth century.
