After Subcarpathian Ruthenia became part of the First Czechoslovak Republic in 1919, the government faced numerous challenges in the development of the healthcare system in the region and its capital. The paper aims to examine the impact of the Republic’s legislative framework and the peculiarities of Uzhhorod’s needs on priorities in the construction and, in certain cases design, of medical institutions in the city. Although the implementation of state policy in Uzhhorod was not always reflected in new architectural structures, each of the discussed objects became an example of the newest standards and requirements regarding technical equipment and hygiene. While the Uzhhorod case study is site-specific, the lessons can be broadly applicable.
