Abstract

Dr. Husref Tahirović, an endocrinologist and professor emeritus of pediatrics at the University of Tuzla School of Medicine and a member of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, performed many functions and held many appointments during his long professional life, reflecting his various scientific and social interests. Among other roles, he has been the Editor-in-Chief of Acta Medica Academica, the official journal of the Academy. In this journal, he published several historical articles on famous physicians from Bosnia and Herzegovina. His interest in history also led him to spend considerable time during the last few years researching the life and works of Dr. Isak Samokovlija a celebrated writer in former Yugoslavia, who was also a physician recognized for his contributions to medicine and the organization of health care services in Bosnia and Herzegovina before the Second World War. This book contains a wealth of data that Dr. Tahirović has collected about this remarkable physician, who was born in Goražde in 1889 and died in Sarajevo in 1955.
