[Double jubilee of obstetrics in the Socialist Republic of Croatia].

The year 1977 is marked with two great jubilees of obstetrics in Croatia: in 1777 the first midwifery textbook in the Croatian language was published and its author was Jean Baptiste Lalangue, while in 1877, year-long efforts were fruitfully completed by the opening of a Midwifery School with the attached Maternity Ward in Zagreb. The first professor of the School (until 1905) was Dr Antun Lobmayer who was also the author of a midwifery textbook published in 6 editions. A short revie is given of Lalangue's textbook as well as a detailed description of the beginnings of work of the Midwifery School, which has continually been working up to the present time, and also of the Zagreb Maternity Hospital which in 1921 became and has remained the University Hospital of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Zagreb.
