	The history of medicine in “The Health Service Journal” between 1949–1956

	Abstract

	The objective of the article was to present the history of medicine in Poland based on the opinions published in “The Health Service” magazine keeping in mind the infl uence of political transition happening in period of 1949–1956. In the press of the period in question, the principle of the boundless subordination of the ruling party was fully applied. It was characterized by great amount of ideological content and propaganda both of which were ubiquitous at that time. It was so-called propaganda of success and cult of personality. The analysed articles included only those, which were in any way related to the subject of the history of medicine in Poland during the period considered. The study proved that in the discussed period there were no large-volume press articles on the history of medicine. A total of 174 articles were published on the history of medicine, of which 31 articles representing 18% contained propaganda and ideological content. The remaining ones were directly related to the history of medicine and were respectively biographies representing the highest number of 36% as well as cyclic articles (25%) and a single topic articles (21%). The highest number of literary articles was published between 1950 and 1951 (respectively: 8 and 11), which – as one might suspect – was the period of the most intense ideological struggle.
