Sažetak
The two oldest Croatian medical associations are the Society of Slavonian Physicians, founded in Osijek, and the Croatian Medical Association, founded in Zagreb. Both associations were established in 1874. The first president of the Osijek Society was Josip Kallivoda-Falkensteinski. When he moved to Zagreb in 1883, the activities of the Society of Slavonian Physicians ceased. By 1885, he became the president of the Association in Zagreb. Under his leadership, membership increased, regular meetings were held, new regulations for the Association were adopted, and the Association became an essential authority on all matters concerning medicine and the medical profession in the 1880s. Kallivoda was highly respected and beloved by his colleagues, which led to a grand celebration of his 70th birthday in 1890. Afterward, his health began to decline, but despite his absence
and illness, he was re-elected as president of the Association in 1891. He passed away in 1892. He laid a strong foundation for the Association, united Croatian physicians, and established a solid basis for joint action among doctors in line with his motto: “Grain by grain, bread; stone by stone, a palace.”
