Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of the formation and development of naval medicine in the South of Ukraine using the example of the city of Mykolayiv, as a centre of shipbuilding and command of the Black Sea Fleet at the end of the ХVІІІth – the beginning of the XXth century. To find out its compliance with the state of development of medicine and the health care requirements of the military personnel of the naval department and the residents of the city at that time. The research methodology is based on the principles of historical knowledge (scientific, historicism, objectivity, systematic and comparative analysis), as well as on the application of general scientific, special and historical, special source studies methods. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the fact that for the first time the formation conditions and features of the initial functioning of naval medicine in Southern Ukraine, which laid the foundations for the development of this important branch of domestic medicine, have been highlighted and analyzed. The Conclusion. The birth of naval medicine in the South of Ukraine had its beginnings precisely in Mykolayiv, where a centre of practical and scientific medical professional elite of naval doctors was formed. The establishment of naval hospital in Mykolayiv played a significant role in the recovery of patients with infectious diseases and wounded servicemen during the Crimean War and the Russo-Turkish Wars, as well as weakening the spread of epidemics among the urban civilian population. Mykolayiv naval doctors made a significant contribution to the development of the city's public medicine, the science of domestic naval medicine and the development of sanitary and anti-epidemic measures during epidemics both in the troops (including on warships) and among the civilian urban population.
