Inside and Outside the Habsburg Public Health SystemToncich, Francesco (Avtor) Habsburg public healthHeimatrechtpertinencyindigent peopleAustrian Littoralhospital's costsprovincial fundsThe aim of this essay is to understand the development of the public health system within the Austrian Empire between 1849 and the end of the 1880s. After a contextualisation of the legal and administrative rules of Austrian citizenship and the welfare organisation system, the text provides some examples from documents in the archival collection of the Littoral’s Lieutenancy. The essay focuses on the problematic relationship between the new laws for inclusion in Austrian citizenship and the right of indigent persons to be cared for. Health, legal, bureaucratic and socio-economic factors were so intertwined that they form a complicated Gordian knot.20222026-07-29 15:04:45Delo ni kategorizirano31355slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
