The development of the Chest Hospitals and Sanatoria in GDR is discussed and compared with data on the trend of tuberculosis beds in the world given by BULLA (WHO). The density of beds of about 1 per 10 000 of the population for diagnostics and treatment of patients with pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis is very low. This results from a planned tuberculosis control with a steady decrease of tuberculosis incidence and a continuous diminishing of the duration of hospital treatment in favour of ambulatory therapy. Other indices representing the effectivity of hospital care (beds accomodated, duration of stay, costs and working power per hospital bed and hospitalized patient in the last 5 years are discussed.
本文讨论了民主德国胸科医院和疗养院的发展情况，并与布拉（世界卫生组织）提供的世界结核病床位趋势数据进行了比较。用于诊断和治疗肺结核及肺外结核患者的床位密度非常低，约为每万人口1张。这是由于计划性结核病控制使结核病发病率稳步下降，且医院治疗时间持续缩短，转而采用门诊治疗。文中还讨论了代表医院护理效率的其他指标（过去5年每张病床和每位住院患者的床位占用情况、住院时间、成本及工作效率）。
