Milan Jovanović-Batut
Milan Jovanović-Batut ( Serbian Милан Јовановић Батут; born October 10, 1847 in Syrmisch Mitrowitz , Austrian Empire ; † September 11, 1940 in Belgrade , Kingdom of Yugoslavia ) was a Yugoslav doctor and publicist . The Serbian Public Health Institute is named after him.
Life
Jovanović-Batut attended grammar school in Osijek and then studied at the Medical Faculty of the University of Vienna until 1878, with interruptions due to illness . He then treated his tuberculosis in Opatija . After his illness improved, he became a doctor in Sombor and from 1880 published the magazine Zdravlje (Health) there. He also worked in Cetinje , where he had been sent to organize the Montenegrin health care system, in Novi Sad and finally in Belgrade. Since Jovanović-Batut was supposed to set up the bacteriological institute in Belgrade, the later Serbian Prime Minister Vladan Đorđević sent him on a study trip to Germany and France from 1882 to 1885, where he studied with Max von Pettenkofer , Otto von Bollinger , Robert Koch , Louis Pasteur and others worked mainly in the fields of hygiene and bacteriology . In 1887 he became a full professor and in 1888 professor of hygiene and forensic medicine at the High School in Belgrade , of which he was rector from 1892. In 1894 he became a member of the kk Central Statistical Commission . The Serbian Medical Society elected Jovanović-Batut as its president in 1906. It was thanks to his influence that in 1918 the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes became the first state in continental Europe to receive a Ministry of Public Health. In 1919 he was the first dean of the medical faculty, for whose establishment at the high school and later at the University of Belgrade he had been vehemently advocating since the 1890s. In 1924 he retired.
