Summary/Abstract: The war that started on 6 April 1941, ended with the defeat of the Kingdom Yugoslavia and occupation of Vardar Macedonia. The greatest part was under Bulgarian while the farthest western parts were under Italian administration. Immediately after the fall of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the entire medical service that had previously functioned collapsed. The Main Directorate of Public Health of the Kingdom of Bulgaria was the new authority responsible for organizing the sanitation in the biggest part of Vardar Macedonia. The scheme of this sanitarian organization was similar to the previous one: District Medical Service, district and municipal. From the institutions for national health only anti-malaria stations and hospitals that received the status of state institutions continued to operate: the hospital in Skopje named Trial public hospital and all the others were secondary. Bulgarian authorities brought with them medical staff, out of which the majority was gained key positions in the health service and their goal was implementation of the health policy of the Ministry of National Health (Ministry of Health) of Bulgaria.
