Abstract
This year the monographic book “60 Years Macedonian Medical Association 1945- 2005†was published, denoting more then six decades successful existence of Macedonian Medical Association (MMA). In the period behind us, the MMA has been bearer of the continuous development and growth of the health provision system. Starting its activities back in 1945, with only 123 doctors and dentists working in Republic of Macedonia, the MMA today represents more then 5000 doctors, of whom 3025 are specialists in various fields. The doctors in the MMA are organized into 22 regional or local associations and 70 specialist and sub-specialist associations. The MMA was the predecessor of the Faculty of Medicine in Macedonia, with the vast majority of the staff being recruited from MMA. A major contribution to the professional and scientific development of the medical profession in Macedonia was achieved through the introduction of the scientific journal and organization of scientific congresses under auspice of MMA. Today MMA is an active participant, initiator and consultant in the creation and improvement of the laws regulating the health service provision in the country. The highest state honour, the 11th October Award was awarded to MMA, as recognition for its continuous commitment to progress of Macedonian medicine.
