The Institute of Public Health Jagiellonian University Medical College Cracow

The Institute of Public Health in the Faculty of Health Sciences Jagiellonian University Medical College is the former Cracow School of Public Health, a name which has become engrained in the memory of many people, as it was the first school of public health in Poland.
