Organization and reorganization of the Health Care Service started with a fight against the spread of infectious diseases. Foundation of specialized health institutions was among the first tasks. As early as 1920, an Outpatient Service forSkin and Venereal Diseases was established and managed by Prof. Đorđe Đorđević. In 1922, after he was appointed as Associate Professor at the newly established Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade, he founded a Clinic for Skin andVenereal Diseases, and acted as its first director. In 1928, a Municipal Outpatient Clinic for Skin and Venereal Diseases was founded, whereas in 1938 a modern organization of the Service was established in a new building. After a break during the I World War, the Dermatovenereology Department of the General Military Hospital in Belgrade, founded in 1909, continued working until the Second World War. In Novi Sad, the City Hospital was founded in 1909, including a Dermatovenereology Department. After the First World War, in 1921, Dr. Jovan Nenadović founded a Department of Skinand Venereal Diseases (100 beds) in the General Public Hospital, as well as, an independent Public Outpatient Clinic for free-of-charge treatment of patients with venereal diseases. In Niš, the first Organization Unit for Venereal Diseases was founded in 1912, but the Department of Venereal Diseases was founded in 1921, and it was managed by Dr. Petar Davidović, while in 1927 a Department of Skin and Venereal Diseases was established within the General PublicHospital.

This chapter provides a summary of the key arguments of the book: that reactions to regulation were complicated and multifaceted; that regulation varied widely from place to place; and that there was a huge gulf between the ambitions of the tsarist authorities for policing prostitution, and the corresponding reality. Thereafter, the chapter examines the abolition of the regulation system in July 1917 by the Provisional Government. The social and economic dislocation of the First World War, revolution, and Civil War undoubtedly saw many more women engaging in prostitution. After seizing power from the Provisional Government in October 1917, the Bolsheviks set out to eradicate prostitution as they regarded it as an unwanted remnant of the bourgeois, capitalist past. However, prejudices against women who worked as prostitutes that had been established under the regulation system were difficult to shift, particularly the perception that women who sold sex were responsible for the transmission of venereal diseases. These stubborn ideas meant that attempts to eliminate prostitution in the early Soviet period were destined to be unsuccessful.

Speedwell Military Hospital was a hospital for veterans of the Canadian Expeditionary Force located in the newly-built Ontario Reformatory in Guelph. Speedwell was part of a nation-wide program administered by the Department of Soldiers’ Civil Re-Establishment (DSCR) during the First World War intended to neutralize some of the social dangers associated with demobilization. As the health of individual veterans at Speedwell became closely associated with the nation’s economic strength, the ultimate goal of hospitals like Speedwell was the transformation of sick and wounded veterans into healthy and productive workers. However, as the needs of patients changed after the war, the initial promise of Speedwell as a site of rehabilitative labour made it clearly unsuitable for veterans in need of long-term convalescence care.

The article is based on an analysis of the Bryansk region State Archive’s documents and deals with the mobilization measures of the authorities, public organizations and residents of the Bryansk, Karachev, Sevsk and Trubchevsk uyezds of the Oryol Governorate, aimed at the organization of health care for sick and wounded combatants during the First World War. The significance of the city of Bryansk as an important railway junction and an evacuation point is highlighted. 18 hospitals were additionally organized by joint efforts in Bryansk at the very beginning of the war in addition to the already existing military hospital (a total of 1300 cots). At the same time, the key role of the All-Russian City Council for helping sick and wounded combatants in financing and maintaining a number of medical institutions is shown. The activities of the Bryansk Committee of the Red Cross, which coordinated the activities of all government and public organizations in the territory of the above-mentioned uyezds, are also characterized. The author mentions the Committee’s information concerning the hospitals that came up after the war outbreak. The activities of the Ladies’ Circle, which was engaged in both medical and charitable assistance, are especially noted. The article pays particular attention to the documents of the Bryansk military hospital as the main medical institution in the wartime conditions.

The United States’ entry into the First World War prompted progressives to reform veterans’ entitlements in the hopes of creating a system insulated from corruption and capable of rehabilitating disabled veterans into productive members of society. The replacement of pensions with medical care for wounded and disabled soldiers through the Reconstruction Hospital System was originally intended as a temporary measure but resulted in establishing the foundations of the modern veterans’ health care system. Yet, these reforms would not have been possible without the support from the community of war veterans to which these reforms applied. By examining the communal values expressed in publications produced by and for soldiers, this paper explores the ways in which the Great War’s veteran community expressed agency in the process of reforming the US veteran entitlements.

Abstract This paper deals with the period from 1881 to 1918, when the following Sanitary Laws were passed: Law on the Organization of the Sanitary Profession and Public Health Care (1881), which implemented measures for protection from venereal diseases, as well as restriction of prostitution; Public Sanitary Fund (1881), with independent budget for health care; Announcement on Free of Charge Treatment of Syphilis (1887). Dermatovenereological Departments were also founded: in the General Public Hospital in Belgrade (1881), and in the General Military Hospital (1909). The Hospital in Knjaževac for Syphilis was reopened (1881), as well as mobile and temporary hospitals for syphilis, and a network of County and Municipality hospitals. The first Serbian dermatovenereologist was Dr. Jevrem Žujović (1860 - 1944), and then Dr. Milorad Savićević (1877 - 1915). Skin and venereal diseases were treated by general practitioners, surgeons, internists and neurologists. Although Dr. Laza Lazarević (1851 - 1890) was not a dermatologist, but a physician and a writer, he published three papers on dermatovenereology, whereas Dr. Milorad Godjevac (1860 - 1933) wrote an important study on endemic syphilis. From 1885 to 1912, organization of dermatovenereology service has significantly improved. Considering the fact that archive documents are often missing, only approximate structure of diseases is specified: in certain monthly reports in Zaječar, out of all the diseased persons, 45% had skin or venereal diseases, while in Užice the number was 10.5%, which points to different distribution of these diseases. High percentage of dermatovenereology diseases was caused by high frequency of venereal diseases and syphilis. During the war: 1912 - 1918, the military medical service dominated, and in 1917 Prince Alexander Serbian Reserve Hospital was founded in Thessaloniki with a Department for Skin and Venereal Diseases. During this period, work of the Civilian Health Care Service was interrupted, consequently leading to a considerable aggravation of public health.

Chapter 1 draws a link between the conscription of hundreds of thousands of Nyasaland’s Africans into the British military’s carrier service during the First World War and the first efforts to provide some measure of government health care to rural colonial subjects during the 1920s. Prewar colonial civilian medical care was poor. During the First World War, hundreds of thousands of Africans were forcibly conscripted into the British war effort. For the most part, this experience consisted of brutal and often deadly labor. However, the experience of even threadbare medical care during the war years did lead to calls for better civilian government health facilities during the 1920s.
