GYNECOLOGY, OBSTETRICS, AND MIDWIFERY IN CROATIA BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS
Vladimir Dugački
Sažetak
Gynecology and obstetrics, as a unique profession, developes in
Croatia only at the beginning of the 20th century, thanks to Professor
Franjo Dust, the director of the Country Maternity Hospital (Zemal.
isko rodili5te) and Midwifery School (Primaljsko uiili5te) in Zagreb
(established in I877). Professor Dust later founded the Clinic
for Women's Diseases and Labours of the Zagreb Medical School
(1921). The oldest autonomous gynecological and obstetrical departments
in Croatia are the ones in Pula (1905J and in the Zagreb Endowment
Hospital (1925), but they were extinguished in the 1930s
as such, the gynecology being attached to surgery.Between the two
World Wars, autonomous gynecological and obstetrical departments
were established in Split (1919), Sibenik (1927), Osijek (1932), in
the Mercury's Sanatorium in Zagreb (1934), in Suiak (I935), and in
the Zagreb Hospital of Charitable Sisters (Bolnica milosrdnih sestara)
in 1941. The first head of such a department in Suiak was Dr. Milan
Berger (1936-1942), who from 1928 until 1936 had worked as assistent
to Professor Durst in the Clinic for Women's Diseases and
Labours in Zagreb. From 1945 until 1947 and from 1950 until 1953,
Dr. Berger acted as a department head in the Zagreb Hospital of
Charitable Sisters (Dr. Mladen Stojanovi6 General Hospital, respectfully),
while from I947 until 1950, he headed a department in Pula.
In the period between 1953 and 1973, Dr. Berger worked in the Zagreb Gynecological and Obstetrical Clinic, which he headed from
i967 till 1969 as a university professor.
