Abstract

In our research, in line with the current epidemic situation, we decided to look back at epidemic waves in the past. We focused on the period between the two world wars in Kosovo and Metohija.from 1929 to 1941, this area was divided into the Moravian, Vardar and Zeta banovina.Our research will be an attempt to shed light on this problem through archival reports, relevant professional literature and the daily press. the issue of health in Kosovo and Metohija was closely related to the economic, social and educational situation.the Yugoslav state battled a number of infectious diseases, which herupted due to poor housing conditions and nutrition, hygiene and cultural habits. these were tuberculosis and malaria, as well as typhus, sexually transmitted diseases, but also alcoholism and high infant and child mortality. the state tried to regulate the health situation, but that was a feature of the overall circumstances, so the modernization on that issue was slow.
