The formation of government procurement law during the Second Polish Republic ma- intained in inseparable connection with contract law. Such consistent development of those fields of law have been withhold in the early years of the Polish People’s Republic. It is generally emphasized that after 1948 the inadequacy of Polish Code of Obligations in relation to the new social and economical conditions became unmistakable. The ter- minal point of validity of the traditional understanding of “government procurement law” is marked as the date of entry into force of the centralized state planning in so- cialist economy Act of 19th April 1950. Independent contracts maintained only within the edge markets and on the margins of economic trade. The concept of “government procurement law” temporarily vanished from law and legal language. To summarize it must be noted that the legislations from the interwar years in the sphere of government procurement law are regarded as valuable creation of polish legislative theory.

Bad health conditions of the society and spreading epidemics forced people to undertake the immediate actions. In Bialystok province in the twenties of the twentieth century there were 47 hospitals and among them 18 were epidemic.

Very often smaller hospitals were merged into one large institution which had several departments with specialized medical staff. The causes of such actions were medical reasons.

It was the Hospital for Mentally and Nervously Ill in Choroszcz and the Public Institute for Nervously Exhausted in Świack.
