[Results of the work of sanitary-epidemiologic service in Poland during last 85 years and perspectives for the future].
Just after the First World War, when Poland received independence, activity of sanitary-epidemiological service was included as the most important in the country. In this time epidemiological situation of infectious diseases was unsuccessful, especially concerning typhus exantematicus, typhoid fever, dysentery, diphtheria, tuberculosis. National Central Epidemiological Institute and since 1923 National Institute of Hygiene together with filias in some voivodships up to 1954 were appointed as sanitary epidemiological service especially to control the infectious diseases. In 1954 National Sanitary Inspection was appointed as official institution of central administration in the country to the hygienic and antiepidemiological problems and National Institute of Hygiene stated to work as scientific unit only. National Sanitary Inspection was organised as the net of sanitary-epidemiological stations in voivodeships, districts and as frontiers stations.
