title: [From isolation to opening: the evolution of the practice of medicine in the canton of Jura. III. Great changes over the last 50 years].
abstract: The past 50 years are characterized by rapid improvements in medical practise in the canton Jura. A new generation of well trained family physicians and specialists, a leap in development of obstetric care and the construction of two modern hospitals have revolutionized treatment facilities for this region and have resulted in a marked reduction of perinatal mortality for mother and child. The history of the hospital of Porrentruy is reviewed in particular, an institution with a tradition of 500 years. Public health developments over the past 30 years have closed the gap to regions more privileged by access and development.
