Abstract:
The Health Care System in the Czech Lands (Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia) of the late Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Czechoslovak Republic was comparatively well developed. Attempts to create efficient health regulations and anti-epidemic measures can be traced as far back as the 16th century. The 19th century represents a period of rapid development of Public Health regulations. The kingdom-wide compulsory reporting system of selected infectious diseases was established in 1888 and data concerning morbidity of those infections have been available since 1890. It is probably the first routine reporting system in Europe, and has remained operational without interruption since its inception.
