Abstract

With the establishment of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, the unification and organization of the healthcare system began throughout the new state. The regions inherited health, social, and sanitary laws, with some regulations inherited from the Habsburg Monarchy, while others differed from Habsburg legislation or were entirely absent. This article explores the organization of healthcare in the immediate post-World War I period, highlighting foundational aspects and the influence of regional legacies. A comparative, transnational perspective on public health structures across politically and socially diverse territories offers insight into postwar societal transformation, questioning whether systemic changes prevailed or traditional structures persisted.
