Abstract
The article explores an urgent issue - the system of medical care for the population of the Kabar-dino-Balkaria Republic during the Great Patriotic War. Based on new archival documents and oth-er sources, the features of public health protection in extreme conditions of war have been studied. A comparative analysis of the personnel, material, and technical support of medical institutions of the republic at the beginning of 1941 and the post-occupation period (1943–1945) was conducted; problems and their solutions were identified. The role of state authorities and the public in organ-izing the treatment of wounded soldiers in hospitals and helping them improve their living condi-tions is considered. The experience of the work of state authorities, health care institutions and public organizations in providing medical, preventive and anti-epidemic assistance to the popula-tion of the republic is summarized. The indicators of infectious diseases, infant death, vaccination of the population for 1943–1945 are analyzed. The main causes of the epidemic have been identi-fied. It is concluded that, despite the great difficulties of wartime, by virtue of the activities by state authorities, health care institutions and public organizations, it was possible to ensure the protection of the health of the population in the republic.
