Abstract

A complex epidemiological situation marked the health system at the time of the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic. Reducing the number of infectious diseases was an essential task of the State Administration of Health. It required new legislation and various steps directed at reducing infectious diseases. Serious infectious diseases, such as scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid, dysentery, smallpox, and malaria, were among the most significant health problems in Czechoslovakia. In 1920, Act No. 412 Coll. regarding compulsory smallpox vaccination was issued, as well as government Regulation No. 298, which describes vaccination obligations and stipulated proper isolation of patients with infectious diseases. Other steps that led to improvements included establishing the National Institute of Health and mobile disinfectant units. Conclusion: The systematic development of new legislation contributed to the new Republic's proficiency at the task and the gradual reduction in the number of infectious diseases.

第一捷克斯洛伐克共和国的卫生系统及其在第一次世界大战后抗击传染病的作用(20世纪20年代)

捷克斯洛伐克共和国成立时，卫生系统的特点是流行病学形势复杂。减少传染病的数量是国家卫生总局的一项重要任务。它需要新的立法和旨在减少传染病的各种步骤。严重的传染病，如猩红热、白喉、伤寒、痢疾、天花和疟疾，是捷克斯洛伐克最严重的健康问题。1920年，第412号法案。关于强制性天花疫苗接种的规定，以及第298号政府条例，其中描述了疫苗接种义务，并规定对传染病患者进行适当隔离。导致改善的其他步骤包括建立国家卫生研究所和流动消毒单位。结论:新立法的系统发展有助于新共和国熟练地完成任务，并逐渐减少传染病的数量。
