The merits of the Russian physician Ugryumov, participant in the Liberation Russian-Turkish war (1877-78) and pioneer in the organization of health services in Eastern Rumelia are emphasized. Ugryumov made part of the IV brigade of the Bulgarian volunteer corps as a physician; he organized a hospital for typhus patients in Plovdiv, which subsequently was converted into the First State Hospital. Dr. Ugryumov organized the first educational course for surgeon's assistants in Bulgaria.
