Mellékletek - Summary
The wards of the public hospital - with the exception of the children’s ward and the optometry - relocated only in 1946 to their original locations. The polyclinic for venereal diseases started treatment with penicillin from May 1947. The institute for tuberculosis started tuberculosis screening of students. The Baja branch of the OKI started also in May 1947 the fight against malaria, and from February 1948 it carried out germcarrier screening examinations. In May that year the city’s disinfection institute was established, which made regular disinfection possible, and it served as a disinfection bath for the poorest. The similar needs of the youth was satisfied by the school bath, which was restored by that time. Because of the great turnover of patients, the doctors of the public hospital were forced in July 1948, to send home the half healed patients, because only so could they tend to the serious and urgent cases. The doctors of the public hospital conducted vaccination against diphtheria and revaccination against smallpox in June 1948. In March 1949 started the cancer screening as part of pregnancy counselling. In April the BCG-vaccination against tuberculosis started. The health protection service started a cod-liver oil campaign for the prevention of rickets in the schools. The aim of the volume was beside the saving of sources with the publication of the mayoral reports, to call attention to this transitional period, in which the transition from capitalism to socialism took place, which was short but very intensive and eventful, the diverse problems of reconstructions after the Second World War, and to the extraordinary difficulties, the daily fights of the incumbent mayor and mayoral staff, the actions of the parties, offices, institutions, other bodies and personnel. The published sources are excellent accounts of the era, which can be used in education, can be useful for historians engaged in regional history research, and can be interesting for anyone, who is interested in what Baja’s social and economic life was like after the Second World War, how they lived, what kind of difficulties the people of the city had to face, among whom surely the reader will find many names which are familiar or even from their family. 752
