[Personnel and their training as needed for controlling infectious diseases during the era between wars in Poland].
Sanitary personnel, which were combating the epidemic of infectious diseases in Poland between the first and the second world war, consisted of doctors, sanitary inspectors, hygienists and disinfectors. With support of the Rockefeller Foundation for the first time the public health staff was fully trained. They were awarded travel scholarships to the United States of America. The Polish Hygiene School was inspired by Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. It was on integrated part of the State Hygiene Institute, which since 1924 started regulary to school the sanitary personnel. The course of lectures included a large range of subjects of public health and was adjusted to the Polish conditions. Through thirteen years of the specialist schooling the half the doctors employed in the public health service took part in them, all of the country doctors and the greater part of the middle personnel of the sanitary--epidemic service.
