The Organisation of Health Service of Workers in Western Pomerania in the Years 1945–1955. Introduction

Summary/Abstract: The organisation of industrial health service in the years 1945–1955 may be characterised as dynamic. Various factors were at work, among which the most important ones are the following: historical and political conditions, changes taking place in the system of health service, and the socio-economic development. After 1945 the system was created in stages. The first one, initiated still in 1944, was preliminary, preparatory. It was then when the main guidelines for the subsequent years were set down. In addition, the appropriate laws were prepared, which influenced significantly the organisation of the health service, including its industrial branch. The second stage occurred at the beginning of the 1950s. Then the industrial health service was properly organised; and the full-scale development proceeded during the six-year plan, when the health service for workers acquired special significance. The system covered especially workers employed in strategic industrial sectors. The changes in the industrial health service was a background for presenting the organisation of the health service in Western Pomerania in the period in question.
