Summary/Abstract: In the late 1930s of the XX century, under pressure from European countries, the Ottoman Empire took organized anti-epidemic action against the pandemic spread of plague and cholera infections. Infirmaries, sanitary cordons, quarantine services are being built in the port cities of Varna, Pomorie and other important trade and administrative centers. The purpose of this article is to study the development and activities of the Varna Quarantine Service since its establishment in 1847 until the end of World War II.

In the years after the Liberation, Bulgaria's active land and sea trade with neighboring and European countries, wars, migration, the movement of Muslim pilgrims and seasonal workers across our sea border required the health authorities to approve health legislation and new approaches in the organization and structure of the border sanitary control, compliant with the International Health Regulations for the Protection of Public Health.
