In the work of this scientist, four historical periods are distinguished, differing in their content, influence on health care and medical thinking. The article was based on previously unpublished documents kept in the personal fund of I.V. Davydovsky, located in the Scientific Archive of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, which open up new facets of the scientist's personality, his relationship to pathological anatomy and the methodology of medical knowledge. The authors come to the conclusion that, despite the loss of some achievements of the Soviet model of organizing the provision of medical care associated with the name of Academician Davydovsky, his contribution to science and practical healthcare remains relevant for choosing the direction for the development of domestic medicine.
