Vezirski grad zaslužuje jednu modernu bolnicu! – Pitanje izgradnje nove travničke bolnice 1899. i rad zavoda u prvim godinama nakon otvaranja
The Modern Hospital in The City of Viziers: Question of the New Hospital in Travnik Built in 1899 and Work of the Medical Institute in its first Years

Summary/Abstract: Although the opening of the first hospital in the town of viziers is an important historical moment, it is an unexplored episode from Bosnia and Herzegovina’s social past. In addition to completing and expanding the very modest knowledge on this issue, the paper intends to use an isolated example, in the light of very complex state-legal relations, to question and valorise the attitude of the Austro-Hungarian authorities towards the issue of building new health institutes in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In accordance to the aforementioned, the first part analyses how the opening and adaptation of the first hospital in Travnik took place, and an attempt is made to define what kind of health care institution it was. In the second part the author tries to find out what are the decisive factors that led the Austro-Hungarian government to decide on the construction of a completely new hospital building, and what role did the Provincial Government in Sarajevo play in that process. In the context of the evaluation of the efficiency of the health modernization process, the positive effects of the application of modern forms of treatment are examined in the final part.
