PROTOCOL OF THE GENERAL MEETING OF DOCTORS AND THEIR ASSISTANTS IN PISHPEK ON THE ORGANIZATION OF THE DISTRICT SANITARY COUNCIL AND SANITARY WORK IN THE CITY

Pishpek, June 23, 1918

On point 1 it was resolved: that the sanitary council consists of the health commissioner, a doctor, 2 medical paramedics, 1 veterinary doctor and paramedic, and 1 pharmacist. The following were elected from the medical staff: doctor Frunze (K.B. Frunze - brother of M.V. Frunze participated in the meeting), paramedics Rybtchik and Krasev; a doctor and paramedic from the veterinary college will be elected in the near future, who will also join the council, and the only pharmacist in Pishpek, Kveitman, is also included in the council; a commissioner was not elected, as the local Soviet had already appointed citizen Ivanitsyn as health commissioner before the council was organized.

On point 2 it was resolved: the health commissioner by virtue of his position is the chairman of the sanitary council; matters concerning all branches of sanitary and medical affairs are decided collectively in the sanitary council by majority vote, and the executive bodies of the sanitary council must only implement the resolutions of this council.

On point 3 it became clear from the exchange of opinions that there have been and are individual cases of Asian cholera in Pishpek, although these cases are quite numerous, they are still only individual (sporadic) cases, and cholera does not have an epidemic character in Pishpek.

On this point, the medical meeting resolved: to remind the sanitary council of its first resolution on dividing the city into separate sanitary areas and on electing sanitary guardians in these areas to monitor the sanitary condition and morbidity in their areas. The medical meeting requests the sanitary council to implement the mentioned resolution on sanitary guardianship as soon as possible, as only under this condition can accurate accounting of morbidity and mortality from the epidemic be possible, which, in turn, is necessary for taking rational measures to combat the epidemic.

On point 4 it was resolved: to instruct the sanitary council together with doctor Lyassota to develop the issue of liquidating the hospital in all its details and present their considerations by June 30 of this year for discussion at the general medical meeting, which should be convened to decide on the issue of liquidating the hospital on June 30, 1918.

K.B. Frunze - brother of M.V. Frunze participated in the meeting.

Moreover, in connection with the issue of liquidating the hospital, it was resolved: that the general meeting of doctors and their assistants should direct and control the activities of the sanitary council, for which it should meet at least once a month, and in emergency cases more often.
