An important scientific problem is discussed--the formation of human ideas about health as a national property. Based on positions of class differentiation and party, the authors attempt to elucidate the meaning and essence of this basic notion, equally from the standpoint of medicine and history, and from the standpoint of science in general. Man's health is not merely personal, individual or familial concern. It is conditioned, first and foremost, on a social ground. In this case, the social-economical conditions play a decisive role. The health of people is socially substantiated--attainable by all. On its part, it exerts effect upon the social conditions and society. In socialism and communism only are really human conditions created for the proper development of mankind, not merely in moral and cultural respect, but also in terms of improving vital functions and health state.
讨论了一个重要的科学问题——关于健康作为国家财富的人类观念的形成。基于阶级分化和政党的立场，作者试图从医学和历史的角度以及一般科学的角度阐明这一基本概念的意义和本质。人的健康不仅仅是个人、个体或家庭的关切。首先，它是以社会为基础的。在这种情况下，社会经济条件起着决定性作用。人民的健康是有社会依据的——所有人都能实现。反过来，它又对社会条件和社会产生影响。只有在社会主义和共产主义社会，才真正为人的适当发展创造了条件，不仅在道德和文化方面，而且在改善生命功能和健康状况方面。
