title: [The fight of the communist authorities with the Catholic Church in the health service in Poland (1945-1970)].
abstract: The article shows the process of nationalization of Polish hospitals run by religious congregations and elimination of priests runs from medical care. The process lasted until resignation of Władysław Gomułka from the post of the first secretary of the Polish United Worker's Party. We can distinguish two periods of the process: 1948-1953 of nationalized of the congregation hospitals and 1960 - 1970 when this presence of the Catholic Church in the health was limited to indispensable minimum.
