Abstract
This paper presents the legal regulations on public health and the development of a network of public health services in Slavonia, detailing the historical progression from Teresian health reforms to those of Mažuranić. The overview section explains the importance of the General Health Ordinance of 1770 and the relationship between the Hungarian Governor’s Council and the subordinate administrative and health organizations. Among these was the City Physician of the free and royal city of Osijek, a specialized body of the city administration responsible for public health issues. The paper further categorizes health personnel, outlines the structure of the disease control system, and describes health institutions, highlighting the importance of the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement of 1868, which created the conditions for independent regulation of public health. This turn of events enabled Ban Mažuranić to reorganize the administration based on the rule of law and enact new, modern laws, notably the Health Care Regulation Act (1874) and the Health Care Regulation Act for the Kingdoms of Croatia and Slavonia (1894).
