Boško Barac
Abstract
The paper presents the history as well as the present state of neurology in Osijek and predicts further development of the specific discipline according to the present and future needs of Slavonia and East Croatia and scientific, educational and cultural projections on the development of Croatia. Neurology in Osijek has developed somewhat later than in Zagreb and central part of Croatia, but owing to the influence of its founder Dr. Glavan and his successor Dr. Maglajlić, it has followed the best tendencies of Croatian and world neurology, in the sense of developing its subareas. Croatian neurology followed the latest developments in the world and exerted a positive influence on the neighboring countries. Osijek neurology has been a part of it in the last decades. mAlthough the Clinic of Neurology of the Osijek Clinical Hospital suffered considerable damage during the war, the present staff ensure an adequate structure and quality of profession and can fulfill its medical as well as scientific and educational function to gether with other medical disciplines of the Osijek Clinical Hospital. An important limitating factor in the predictable progress is partly obsolete functional diagnostic equipment and especially totally inadequate accommodation conditions both for hospitalized patients and for ambulatory and polyclinic activities. Also, room is lacking for scientific and educational tasks of the Clinic of Neurology and the Clinical Hospital as an important medical, scientific and educational center of the city of Osijek and the counties gravitating to it, in the light of its social, economic, cultural and, above all, collegiate functions.
