h;EDICAL SCHOOL IN ZAJECAR HOLDS FIRST GRADUATION -= Belgrade, Borba, 28 Jun 51
Za,jecar, 27 June -- Many srezes in Timok Oblast do not have a sufficient
number of doctors or medical assistants, although various contagious diseases,
primarily tuberculos.: of the lung and endemic syphilis; are still widespread.
The inhabi~;ants are so unenlightened medically that quackery is still common.
For this reason, a secondary medical school was established in ~~Jecar
in 1948; its first class is graduating in 1951. These technicians will en-
deavor to raise the health standards of the inhabitants of Timok Oblast.
During its first year, the school had 22 students, but had no regular in-
structors except one nurse-instructor, Nevertheless, the school operated
normally. The students studied over 20 different general and professional sub-
Jects, including all those necessary for the technical +,raining of a medical. as-
sistant. ,

more help.
