The article traces the process of activity of hospitals in Transcarpathia during the first decade of the land being a part of Czechoslovakia. Research methods. First of all, comparative-historical and structural-system methods of analysis, generalization and synthesis, as well as problem-chronological way of presenting the material have been used. Scientific novelty. The outlined problematics is considered in historiography for the first time. Conclusions. It is noted that at the time of the incorporation of Transcarpathia into Czechoslovakia there were four county hospitals, three of which were in a rather deplorable condition. The Czechoslovak administration had to make considerable efforts to modernize them. Emphasis was placed on the activities of doctors who came to Transcarpathia mainly from the Czech and Moravian lands. They were usually graduates of the Medical Faculty of the University of Prague, and some even underwent internships at leading European clinics. It is thanks to their ascetic work that the condition of hospitals and medical care of the population had improved.
