ИЗВЕСТИЯ СОИГСИ

A process of development of the health system in the city of Derbent – one of the major centers of the North Caucasus – is examined on the base of a wide range of sources. Since both already known and introduced for the first time archival sources are being analyzed, the author follows the development of the Russian medical system in the region. The issue of health care organization in Derbent, raised after it was joined to the Russian Empire, was resolved only by the end of the 1820s, when medical staff positions were introduced. The military doctors in the city were the first Russian doctors in the city when a military hospital was founded there. Besides, the civilian doctors and midwives also worked in Derbent. The duties for compilation of medical and topographic descriptions, city protection from epidemics, etc. were assigned to the Russian doctors. The vaccination was a special issue, its success was estimated by the number of children immunized, growing every year. Simultaneously, significant number of traditional healers continued practicing. It was connected with the wide spread of traditional medical knowledge in Daghestan. Using popular remedies, the healers treated a large spectrum of diseases. The health care organization in Derbent was representative and typical for the Caucasian periphery of the Russian Empire. At this time the health care system in Derbent combined military, civil and popular medicine, and their interaction and interpenetration took place.

Keywords: Derbent, Daghestan, health care history, traditional medicine, epidemics, vaccination.
