Abstract

Between the two world wars, a new preventive approach to public health was introduced in the field of medicine. Within this framework, training for a new profession – social care nurses – was also introduced. The Karađorđević royal family was very supportive of this new medical approach and profession and its mission. They were connected to and supported them in various ways. The article discusses some of the connections and forms of support for healthcare, with an emphasis on the Slovenian region.
