title: [Changes in medical care in the narrow Bern Oberland since the turn of the century].
abstract: An enormous transformation of health care delivery to the proper Bernese Oberland took place because of improvements in the transportation system, a raising number of practitioners, the nearly complete financial coverage of the population for the cost of this improved health care system and finally the raising awareness of the population for modern medicine. Expectations not only towards an increased life-expectancy but towards improved quality of life developed stormingly. According to valleys the changes in population, prominent types of physicians, birth, death and epidemics are reviewed. Financial and transportation-related problems, developments in care at home and outsiders are briefly highlighted.
