Preliminary proceedings for a model experiment to be carried out in order to investigate the establishing of geriatric districts in Hungary.
The authors review the theoretical and practical experiences on the basis of what it was deemed necessary to try out the function of geriatric districts in a model experiment. We are made acquainted with Püspökladány, a large community chosen for the scene of their experiment, with the preliminary work and with the entire process of their planned experiment. They describe the method of the 1 year's basic survey which began in June 1972 and the new organizational model of the health care of the population which came into force in the second half of 1973.
