Abstract
Motherhood and women health in rural areas during the afterwar period The paper is an attempt to show the situation within medical sciences concerning motherhood and care for woman in a socialist state. It focuses mainly on the medical health system in the Polish countryside after The Second World War. The existing data points to major shortages in this area, mainly caused by the state’s economic situation. An additional issue was that social insurance for farmers was implemented only in the seventies and that medical education was not sufficient. One of the main consequences of that state of affairs was, amongst others, turning to people involved in alternative medicine mainly so called “babki” (quacks).
