Abstract

On the occasion of two anniversaries of the “Outpatient department for rheumatology, physical therapy and rehabilitation Dr. Drago Čop”, the paper presents its history, from the building of the Central Beureau for Workers’ Insurance till the mid 1960s. In 1928 an outpatient department for physical therapy with a public bath was founded, while in 1938 the Central rheuma-station was established as the first rheumatologic institution in Southeastern Europe. During the period presented, a lively activity developed at that institution: a professional rheumatologic association was founded, the journal “Reumatizam” appeared, education in rheumatology commenced, and first teaching materials were published.
