The author presents the provisions of the Austrian sanitary code from 30th April 1870, which laid the foundation of the public health service in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and served as the basis for provincial laws about the organization of health services at the municipal level. Its organization is presented on the example of the province of Carniola. The period in question was an era of increased awareness about the need for mandatory obstetrical assistance and a time of improved organization of healthcare for the poor.
