“International health in the interwar years began in a meaningful way in post-imperial central and eastern Europe. This talk will consider the specific legacies and developments in public health that formed part of state-building experiments and shaped a broader context of transnational and international collaboration. Drawing on material from my book project, For Your Health and Ours: An East European History of a Universal Right, it will examine the significance of interconnections between new national health services and the progress from informal networks to a regional institutional structure that ultimately influenced practices in the League of Nations Health Organization.”
