Summary: | The paper follows the internal evolution of the Cluj County (1948-1949) and of the Cluj Region (1949-1952) Healthcare System. It starts by presenting the reorganization of the sanitary circumscriptions and it continues by offering data on the nationalization of the medical and pharmaceutical units, on the new communist personnel policy, on the increasing anti-epidemical measures (a top-priority of that time) and on the growth in number of healthcare units during the first years of the "popular" regime. Based entirely on archival sources, since the subject's bibliography is almost inexistent, the research draws the image of a system that was trying, along with the whole society, to meet the requirements of the new socialist power structure.
