[The beginnings of the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Bratislava]

At the beginning of October 1919 doc. MUDr. Frantisek Prokop came to Bratislava to organize and build the Institute of Forensic Medicine of the Medical Faculty of the Comenius University. The submitted investigation, based on assembled documents, gives an account of the existence and activities of this department. The Institute had to be built from scratch; during the first years it was inadequately equipped and understaffed. In 1925 MUDr. Herman Krsek became one of the assistants and in 1935 he was awarded the title of reader in forensic medicine.
