GRČKA BOLNICA I LJEKARNE U SMIRNI (1723. – 1922.)
From the mid-18th century to the mid-20th century, Greek doctors in Smyrna collaborated with pharmacists, churches, and the city’s Greek Orthodox community to create a state of-the-art health network and charitable foundation to serve physical and mental health needs of the local community. At Graekikon Nosokomion o Agios Haralampos (Greek Saint Charalampos Hospital), or the Greek Hospital, every citizen, regardless of origin, language, religion, or economic status, had access to the most appropriate medical and pharmaceutical care. Neighborhood pharmacists complemented this care by administering vaccinations and preparing medicines. Smyrna’s pivotal influence on the Greek medical community ended in August 1922, when the Greek Hospital was destroyed during the Catastrophe of Smyrna.Od sredine 18. do sredine 20. stoljeća grčki liječnici u Smirni surađivali su s farmaceuti-ma, crkvama i gradskom grčkom pravoslavnom zajednicom kako bi stvorili najsuvremeniju zdravstvenu mrežu i dobrotvornu zakladu koja će služiti fizičkim i mentalnim zdravstvenim potrebama lokalne zajednice. U Graekikon Nosokomion o Agios Haralampos (grčka bol-nica Saint Charalampos), ili Grčkoj bolnici, svaki je građanin imao pristup najprikladnijoj medicinskoj i farmaceutskoj skrbi bez obzira na podrijetlo, jezik, vjeru ili ekonomski status. Farmaceuti u kvartovima nadopunili su tu skrb cijepljenjem i pripremanjem lijekova. Ključ-ni utjecaj Smirne na grčku medicinsku zajednicu završio je u kolovozu 1922. kada je grčka bolnica uništena tijekom katastrofe u Smirni
Sexually Transmitted Infections in a Cohort of 15,921 Refugees (1926-1940) in the Region of Imathia, Northern Greece
This historical epidemiological study evaluates sexually transmitted
infections (STIs) among Greek refugees during the Interwar period
in the region of Imathia, Central Macedonia, Greece, as a part of the effort
against sexually transmitted infections in Greece (1910-1940). We examined
the archives of the Refugee Hospital of Veroia – the capital of the regional
unit of Imathia (March 5, 1926 to October 27, 1940). This is a report
of previously unpublished primary material comprising a cohort of 15,921
cases, among whom 41 patients were hospitalized on account of syphilis
and 19 on account of gonococcal infection. Descriptive statistics were estimated.
Primary (n=4), secondary (n=2), tertiary (n=13), congenital (n=7),
and not further specified (n=15) cases of syphilis were identified, whereas
a variety of differential diagnosis problems arose. Syphilis and gonococcal
infection/gonorrhea seemed to affect various social groups, as evidenced
by the variety of professions involved. Refugee patients originated from
various areas such as Caucasus, Thrace, Constantinople, Bithynia, and Pontus.
Lack of information and poor healthcare led to spreading of STIs in
Greece. Law 3032/1922 was crucial for the Greek effort against sexually
transmitted infection
