Keywords:
N.A. Semashko, the health system, health of childrenAbstract
The article is devoted to N.A. Semashko, focusing on his role in health care, including children's health care, which was a priority in his work from 1917 to 1949. Nikolai Aleksandrovich Semashko (1874-1949) was a member of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences (1944) and the RSFSR Academy of Pedagogical Sciences (1945). He was one of the first organizers of the national health care system.
A lot has been written about the life and work of Semashko, a professor at the medical faculty of the 1st Moscow Medical Institute—mainly about his role as a revolutionary, social hygienist, and large-scale health-care organizer. We have attempted to cover such issues as the role of Semashko in the organization of health care.
