Robert Skenderović
Abstract
Among numerous reforms that had been introduced during the reign of Maria Theresa 1740-1780, there were also reforms of the health system. These reforms included a modernization of the study of medicine, obligatory education of all medical staff and the organization of a system of control of their practice throughout the Monarchy. The peak of the health reform was the passing of the law on medical protection "Generale Normativum Sanitatis" in 1770, which set forth all the key tasks for health protection in the Monarchy. A large part of the law relates to the Sanitary Cordon at the Military Border, which goes to show the importance this Cordon had for the Court in Vienna.
