This 1958 historical and medical survey by T. N. Churgulia provides a detailed account of the evolution of public health and hygiene education in Abkhazia. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the region's healthcare transformation, including the arrangement of state-led sanitary initiatives, the fight against infectious diseases, and the establishment of the Republican Sanitary-Epidemiological Station. Published by the Abkhazian State Publishing House (Abgiz) during the post-war era of Soviet medical expansion, this volume serves as a vital primary source for documenting the intersection of social engineering and preventative medicine in the Caucasus. The work highlights the specific challenges faced by local medical practitioners and the success of educational campaigns in improving the living conditions of the Abkhazian population. Enriched with period illustrations and carrying the author's autograph, this monograph is a significant bibliographical artifact for historians of medicine, regional scholars, and collectors of Abkhazian imprints. With a limited print run of only 1000 copies, it remains an essential reference for understanding the institutional history of health services within the Georgian SSR.
