The organization of medical care for the population of Buryatia during the existence of the Far Eastern Republic

During the hard period of the existence of the Far Eastern Republic the most of medical staff had led the worthy work laying the foundation-stone of the efficient National Health Service. The united body of the medical-sanitary management was established. The struggle for the increasing of the sanitary-cultural level of the population, the reducing of the illiteracy and ignorance had begun. For the first time the system of the confinement of children and health care of children had become the priority. Certainly, the health care could not be completely free and their families starved and did not get the prescribed salary. The material and technical foundation of the National Health Service was weak. The contributions and different donations, provided by the Soviet Russia to the Far Eastern Republic during the 1921-1922s were not less than 14 million rubles. All these measures had helped to reach the budget balance by the end of 1922 and gave the beginning to the development of the socialist planned economy and the gradual fortification of the material and technical base of the National Health Service.
