Sažetak
Infant mortality rates in Dalmatia in interwar period were still considered very high. As breast feeding were common practice among Dalmatian women (of all classes), main focus of medical authorities and legislators was to provide professional health care for young mothers and infants, as well as educate them about modern hygiene practices. But, as Dalmatia was predominantly rural country with high level of illiteracy among woman, education as we understand it today was hard to accomplish. Therefore, the crucial role in educating the young mothers had personal contact with professionally trained female medical personnel.
