“Lekarz Wojskowy” has been published since January 3, 1920. Its founders, i.e. the Military Sanitary Council, intended the journal to serve military physicians. It became an integral part of the military health service, accompanying its readers in their daily work, during times of war and peace, in building a new Poland and modern armed forces. The outbreak of World War II interrupted the development of the magazine. However, as early as 1941, in exile in Edinburgh, a group of Polish medical officers took the initiative to publish “Lekarz Wojskowy” referring to its pre‑war form. The edition of the magazine was resumed in Lublin in the first days of 1945, even before the liberation of Warsaw. For 100 years “Lekarz Wojskowy” has served its original purpose, first of all propagating the latest scientific achievements among military medical practitioners, attitude shaping and educating a military physician, who would be honored to work in the army.
