Özet:

During the First World War and continuing in the period of the National Struggle, health problems have caused the spread of infectious diseases such as scratch, scratch, verem. In the period of national struggle, in addition to epidemic diseases, health care services have been inadequate. There were treatments in the hospitals that were unable to be performed due to the lack of material. There is a serious lack of infrastructure in the cities. In the West Front, although epidemic diseases are widespread among soldiers, the measures taken have been attempted to eliminate epidemic diseases, and the medical services provided to the military have been attempted to keep the highest level according to the possibilities available. These facts that we have identified have been recorded by the living witnesses of the time and have reached to the present day. The purpose of this study was to study the memories of the living witnesses of the period and to describe the health conditions and the health services provided in both the towns of Anatolia and the Western Front during the National Struggle period. In this direction, the works used as a source, primarily memories, were studied in a way to cover the years 1919-1922. The reason that other memories not used in this article are not included is that the information about the health conditions has not been transmitted. Also, the reason that some of the cities and fronts are not described or partially described in the article is that they are not included in the memories that transmit health conditions. The main roof of the article was created by memories and archives and other research works were studied according to the information in the memories and used in the article.
