The Activity of the Medical Department of the Transylvanian Museum Society

Summary/Abstract: The Transylvanian Museum Society was founded in 1859 at Kolozsvár (Cluj). In 1861 it became necessary to separate the scientific meetings from the historical and natural science departments. In 1876, they started publishing a journal entitled Értesítő (Bulletin). Because of the fast development of the science in 1906 this department was split in two separate departments: Medical and Natural Science. The I. World War and the change of domination interrupted the activity of the Society. In 1922 the activity were restarted. After the new change of domination (1944) the activity of the Society was forbidden in 1950. The activity was restarted only in 1990. The residence of the Medical Department was moved to Marosvásárhely (Tg. Mureş), and the naming was changed in Medical and Pharmaceutical Department. The main activity of the Department was the organisation of scientific meetings, extension courses, annual conferences in different Transylvanian towns. Statistical data are given. Its whole activity was published in the Értesítő. The Department has contributed not only to the development of the medicine and pharmacy, but also to the improvement of the quality of health care, and the public health education.
