    Abstract:
    Some data unknown so far from the local medical historiography are presented on the names, education and activities of more than 160 surgeons, the most numerous (military) health professionals in the history of Bjelovar area health care during the 18th and 19th centuries. The first surgeons arrived in Bjelovar with the establishment of town authorities and settling of the Border regiment troops in the surrounding areas along the Croatian Military Border at mid-18th century. They performed service as military (troop, i.e. regiment, battalion, hussar) and hospital surgeons as well as district medical officers. Along with their daily routine as surgeons and obstetricians, they also performed medical examination and autopsy, permanently alternating their duties as hospital physicians and surgeons. Surgeons as medical professionals received education at surgical-medical academies of the Austrian Empire until the second half of the 19th century.
