ans' Group of the Hungarian Red Cross Association, headed by Prof. Jan KollontajStr/.ednicki, a general.1 The General was an excellent organizer and established an exemplarily functioning medical network, connected to the health organization of the Polish Government-in-Exile, then in Angers, France. The Polish doctors and other health personnel working in the camps were given extra allowances by the IXth Department, their free movement was ensured, and their material needs were met.

22 They received payment directly from the Department, and were supervised by the Hungarian official physicians and by the Polish Physicians' Group. From the summer of 1940 the knowledge and work of the Polish physicians was directly utilized until their independent activity was stopped by the German occupation of Hungary in March 1944. The Polish medical network in Hugary took its final shape in 1942, when the IXth Department paid regular salaries to 41 physicians and dentists.

23 Several of them served two or three camps. It was fortunate that there were dentists and dental mechanics among the refugees, as the circular decree of 78/1940 allowed only the free extraction of teeth, but no further treatment. The Polish Physicians' Group organized the free preparation of dental prothèses and other treatments, with the Polish Civilian Committee defraying the costs. Each Polish dentists worked for several camps, with surgical hours fixed by the Physicians' Group. The number of the doctors employed seem small considering that there were nearly 500 doctors among the refugees. Most of them, however, immediately or soon went 21 Strzednicki-Kotlataj, Jan, D.
