title: [Medical relationships between Moldavia and the Banat in the 19th and the 20th centuries].
abstract: The intellectual and medical relationships between Moldavia and the Banat were established already in 1833. At that time, Damaschin Bojincă was appointed professor in Jassy, and he was followed by Eftimie Murgu. At the end of June 1833, "The Society of Physicians and Naturalists of Jassy" was founded. Among its founders, we can mention Dr. Iacob Christian Stanislaus Czihak, Dr. Mihail Zotta and Dr. Constantin Vârnav. Eftimie Murgu became a honorary member of this prestigious society. Among its corresponding members were dr. Pavel Vasici Ungureanu and the military medical doctor Friderich Abl from Timişoara. In the first decade after the great Union, the number of general practitioners in the Banat was higher than the number of Bucharest graduates. After the Faculty of Medicine was set up at the West University in Timişoara (by the Order in Council of 4 May 1945), a number of valuable physicians and teachers from Jassy contributed significantly to laying the basis of a high quality medical school in Timişoara.
