Razvoj zdravstvene službe u Veneciji (Magistrato alla sanita’)

Abstract

Ovaj rad prati razvoj sanitarnih službi u Veneciji, od trenutka kada se za njima javila potreba u razvijenom obliku, i koje su bile u funkciji da kraja nezavisnosti Venecije. Venecija je doživela svoj najveći uspon tokom ovog perioda zahvaljujući trgovini sa Levantom. Međutim, kao što je istorija pokazala, to je imalo i negativne strane. Jedna od njih je bila kuga, koja je kosila stanovništvo Evrope u više navrata, pri čemu nikoga nije štedela, pa ni Veneciju.

The development of medical services in Venice started in the mid 14th century and it was predominantly influenced by the outbreak of the plague (Black Death), after which the first health care regulations were introduced. Several decades on, the organization of the health care service was finalized. Regulations passed by the Senate in the mid 15th century were of major importance. Several decades later, a separate Magistrate (Magistrato alla Sanità) was set up to deal with public health care. This institution continued to operate in an almost unchanged form until the final fall of the Republic of Venice in 1797.
