Restoration and Development of the Health Care of Stavropol after the Fascist Occupation

This article is devoted to a difficult period in the history of Russia – the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945. After the expulsion of the Germans, the Soviet people had to restore the consequences of the management of the barbarians.
Particularly affected by the health of the region, since the enemy deliberately looted and destroyed the resorts of the region. Hospitals and polyclinics were destroyed. During the occupation, preventive work was not carried out, and when
the Germans retreated, infectious patients were resettled in apartments to spread the infection. The indicators of the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the province deteriorated sharply. Many diseases, which declined from year to year, increased sharply after the occupation.
After the liberation of the region, it was necessary to identify the remaining buildings, equipment and personnel in all areas in order to proceed with the immediate restoration of the entire treatment and prevention network, staffing
it with personnel, equipment and inventory. For this work, not only medical workers of the region were involved, but the entire community. People selflessly disregarding time and fatigue, restored the destroyed land.
In addition to issues related to improving the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the province, it was necessary to solve the problems associated with the restoration of resorts. Five months of the city-resorts were occupied by German troops. It was necessary in a short time to restore the destroyed health resorts and take to the treatment of the wounded and sick soldiers. Medical workers and the public of the region have successfully coped with this task. Less than a year after the liberation from the occupation, the health care network in the province was restored.
