Abstract
The town of Dubrovnik is known throughout the world by its architecture and beauty. The Dubrovnik archive contains a series of documents linked to the history of this beautiful town and region from the Middle Ages up to the present day. Among those documents there is an extensive collection of documents regarding social policy and health care of Dubrovnik. The purpose of this paper was to make a synthesis of the materials found so far which relate to the history of social and health care policy of Dubrovnik. The text is written in the guide form. It attempts to give a survey of the basic data related to this subject and the history of Dubrovnik. It is obvious from the text that Dubrovnik had a high level of health and social care organisation (home for foundlings, residential home, various health regulations). Uniqueness and progressiveness of the social and medical system of Dubrovnik can be seen from the fact that the quarantine was introduced for the first time in history there.
