[Croatian Medical Association, Andrija Stampar and public health politics in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians (Kingdom of Yugoslavia)].

The research on work of doctor Andrija Stampar (1888-1958) as the head of the Hygienic division of The Ministry of Public Health of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians from 1919 till 1929-1931 is presented, as well as the influence of the Health Section of the League of Nations and Rockefeller Foundation. Special attention is also given to the resistance of practicing physicians around the Croatian Medical Association in Zagreb to Stampar's project of socialization of medicine. In addition, I will elaborate on the changing of the official public health politics after Stampar's dismissal from the Ministry in 1931, as well as the new changes connected with the founding of politically more independent province - Banovina Hrvatska in 1939. The article is mostly based on unpublished archival sources about the life and work of A. Stampar, as well as the documentation of Rockefeller Foundation.
