Abstract

This year marks the 105th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding scientist, historian of medicine and public figure Grigory Romanovich Kryuchok. His contribution to the development of medicine in Belarus cannot be underestimated, because he not only created the basis for historical medical science in the country, but also left an indelible mark in the field of practical health care. Working at the Grodno Medical Institute as the head of the department of social hygiene and healthcare organization from December 1982 to September 1986, G. R. Kryuchok worked to create a museum of the history of medicine in the Grodno region. The scientific activity of Grigory Romanovich at the Grodno Medical Institute was multifaceted. The restoration of the activities of the Grodno Scientific Society of Medical Historians was important for the medical community of Grodno.
