Summary/Abstract: Based on archival sources, daily newspapers, and published literature, this paper gives an overview of health opportunities in the Trogir Municipality during the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (Yugoslavia). During this time the health situation was particularly bad in the poor and inaccessible Trogir hinterland. The lack of general practitioners was one of the underlying health problems. The malaria epidemic was also one of the biggest health and social issues in the Trogir Municipality. The Institute for the Study and Suppression of Malaria was founded in 1922 in Trogir. In 1931 malaria was repressed in the area of Trogir thanks to the hard work of this health institution. In Trogir, the city where the first pharmacy in Europe was opened, two pharmacies and one private drugstore, owned by Roko Slade-Šilović, operated in the interwar period.
