Supervision and Control by the Minister of Health over Social Healthcare Institutions in 1948–1956: Key Issues

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the supervisory and control competences of the Minister of Health between 1948 and 1956 over the basic units of the healthcare system at that time, namely the social healthcare institutions. The aim of the article is to present the legal foundations of this mechanism, its causes, and its consequences. During the period in question, the central state administration held significant authoritative instruments over social healthcare institutions, which was characteristic of the totalitarian system of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the states under its dominant influence. The thesis of the article and at the same time the research question is whether the control competences of the Ministry of Health were part of this system and reflected the centralisation of the state.
