[Early history of pediatrics in Mecklenburg. 1: On the history of Mecklenburg--medical service and child welfare--the school system].
Since no complete description of public child care and pediatric activities in Mecklenburg has been given in the past, the present publication is intended to do more than fill an existing gab in regional pediatric history. Starting with a brief outline of the history of Mecklenburg, it describes in addition the development of medical legislation, medical, personnel, child care facilities, care for the poor and education, and the work of Mecklenburg's first creche in Schwerin.
