As a result of the tireless concern of the Communist Party and the Soviet government about the people's health, the health indicators of Tatarstan were completely transformed - smallpox, cholera, and parasitic typhus disappeared, which constituted a real disaster for the working people in b. In the Kazan province, malaria was defeated, the diseases of diphtheria, scarlet fever and other infections sharply decreased. Thanks to the legislation on labor protection and health-improving measures at work, the incidence of sickness with disability has significantly decreased. These shifts in the health status of the population have been strikingly reflected in the reduction in mortality rates to the lowest levels in the world. So, the mortality rate in Tatarstan in 1958 was 7.9 per 1000 population, while in the USA in the same 1958 the total mortality rate was 9.5 per 1000, in France - 11.1, in England - 11, 7. The natural population growth in the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic also left far behind the aforementioned most developed capitalist countries: in Tataria, the natural population growth in 1958 was 22.1 per 1000 population, while in the USA it was 14.8, in France - 7.0 , in England - 5.1.
