title: [Growth and stagnation--development of health services during the 20th century].
abstract: The health services of Norway have changed over the last century in tune with the development of society. The health services are not only the result of scientific and technological progress, but also a product of changes in prevailing political and social conditions and ideologies. Quality assessment and concern for the ethical basis of the health services ought to be given priority in the years to come.
