[Conflicts regarding the Hospital for Epidemics in Olomouc 1925-1938] ]

The argument between the municipality of Olomouc and the provincial government in Brno was caused by diverse opinions, if an epidemic hospital for the large region of the North-Eastern Moravia should have been built in Olomouc. The Czechoslovak health care laws needed rehabilitation and unification of norms and conditions for building, financing and managing hospitals, as well as modernization of institutions concerning infectious diseases. The Moravian authorities quarrelling on the financial issues of the projected hospital, and later on the technical aspects of it, had to ask the Ministry of Public Health and Physical Training in Prague to unravel the problem, but without an effect. The solution was not easily achievable until the era of antibiotics and buckshee and compulsory inoculation after the World War II came. Microbiologist Professor Jan Kabelík took part in both the battles--for the new hospital in Olomouc in the pre-war period as well as for the immunization of the whole populace after the war.
