Sažetak
Andrija Štampar, well known as national and international public health reformer, strongly influenced the Public Heath Policy and development of unique Public Health System not only in the context of that time political structure of the Southern Slavic countries, but in the development of new public health system of that time Europe, including all Balkan countries. The aim of this study is to explore to what level his original ideas and concepts of Social Hygiene and Social Medicine, as well as his relations with the Health Organization of the League of Nations and Rockefeller Foundation affected Public Health organization and Public Health activities on the territory of todays Republic of Macedonia in the period between 1919-1931. Collected data suggest the conclusion that A.Štampar, supported by national and international collaborators suceeded to establish the institutional and professional base appropriate to the health care conditions and needs of the population specific for this region, particularly regarding maternal, infant and childrens health care, health protection and health promotion, sanitary and living conditions. Štampar's unique role in the inauguration and implementation of the new healthcare ideology and healthcare strategy, as well as of the evolution of the scientific foundations for a Public Health Policy resulted with the establishment of the regional Institute of Health, Health Centers and the Rural Health Centres in the villages. By founding those socio-medical institutions, the development of modern medical scientific research as well as the sanitary engineering, health education and health propaganda that started in this region, new profile of health care workers became an extremely valuable part of Štampar's progressive initiatives and public health reforms in this region, frequently visited by the experts and students from surrounding and distant countries.
